themonkeyman Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Hey Folks, Its Man kinds goal to always look for survival however since the beginning of time we have always lived then died. When I think about this concept it gets me a little down. I understand why Christians put their faith in God / Jesus and Religion in general because it offers them a Post-Death life when in fact the reality is there is probably nothing. From this I have been reading about how a human mind can be uploaded to a computer and what makes me really wonder is that what makes me - me, E.g. If I uploaded my mind to a computer there would be two 'Me' but the one that I am right now is the true 'Me' I can understand a brain transplant could in theory let one survive forever but why can we not replace our brains completely. Perhaps there is a ratio to mechanical that our brains cannot pass? An even stranger concept that I have thought up is that our consciousness stops apparently when we sleep so technically we are dead and a new consciousness is started the next day. Perhaps consciousness itself is transferable The last thing I am pondering is that should we manage to live forever at what point does one actually willingly choose non-existence. Its just got me a little down finally realizing there's nothing after death. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
