When you talk about "uploading" are you referring to creating a copy
of your consciousness? If that's the case then what do you do after
uploading, continue on with a mediocre existence while your
cyber-duplicate shoots past you? Sure, it would have all of those
wonderful abilities you mention, but you would not.
Built in internet? Extremely likely without upload. Vastly improved
memory? Likely. Near seamless access to net based computational grids?
Likely. Thousand of simultaneous conscious threads? Less likely
without uploading for most of the threads. So I don't agree that the
non-upload is a totally hopeless moron who will have no fun.
I'd much rather find a way to transfer my consciousness completely to
synthetic substrate. I hope I'm just misunderstanding things because
that sounds horrible.
Why? Your cyber twin evolves beyond you. Why is this tragic?
