One of my dramatizations of this theme is from StarTrek NG. Note it has recursion and chirality reversal -- very well done!

One goal of transhumanists is backing up your 'brain'. If you die, you just need to reload it into a simulation. Who needs the simulation, or stated differently, isn’t the Sim intrinsic to power-law evolution? Can an individual use the Sim to avoid being locked into an endless succession of Sims? It may be possible within a generation to essentially “download a brain”… such that the dying individual at least has the comfort of a continuity-mythology (of a scientific variety)… IOW, which is not tied to the whims of 3000 year old fairy tales … including the reality of a special kind of physical immortality. The evolution of the SSD, the PC, AI and AR is clearly towards the implementation of the SSS – the solid state soul… J The SSS can find a carrier in many kinds of vehicles. There is even an advantage to accomplishing this kind of mechanical continuity outside the Sim, for the most successful individuals, the 2%. Side note: In truth, this select few should be far less than 1 percent of the general population, but there is a wider margin, based on other factors in a capitalistic society, including wealth. This is most evident in a political season. The disembodied (re-bodied) soul of the second tier (the Betas of Brave New World) as an SSS becomes a marketable item in a capitalist system, as does the genetically perfected body. Evolution is taken over by an exponential power law. The Sim is inevitable at some point and ingrained in the process, so the next goal is to develop the best Sim in order to jump out of the Sim-cycle. The wealthy would-be couple avoid children in favor or wealth, or most likely the single parent, who then will buy a genetically engineered near-duplicate body, a product of a surrogate mother, based his/her own perfected genome – which is of course the equivalent of the “alphas” of BNW. They can shop around for available compatible souls to supplement his/her own contribution - from a broker of such - as a head-start towards evolution of both together. The possibilities are mind boggling … especially with a fine Pinot Noir to be sampled at 5… or earlier if this thread mutates into new territory… --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus
