   finally thought of an answer to the "upload your brain to a computer and live forever" thing:
   
   the uploaded "you" isn't YOU. To use an analogy: if you have a match and light it, you have a flame. If you then use this flame to light a different match, you have two lit matches, or two flames. You wouldn't say they're THE SAME flame. You may say they're related, since one came from the other, but from the point of creation they are different flames.

     @Binkle the point where we can upload brains its not going to be worth collecting, saving and storing all these inferior brain iso files, they will resemble an enormous VHS collection that nobody wants to maintain

     @why @augustus can't wait for new cultic religions to spring up around this involving "raising the dead" by simulating someone's grandparents without the consent of the grandchild
