RE: If It Were Possible, Would You Upload Your Consciousness Into A Robot?

in #consciousness9 years ago

I'm not sure. There are creations and things I'd like to do before I die. If they were not created I would consider it so I could finish them. Yet, I always come up with more ideas... so would I keep going?

If I were the type that actually thought retiring and sitting on a beach drinking, and just soaking in the nature was my thing then I'd likely get bored and I really see no benefit of a robot body.

If I am a creator and I can keep creating things then that body could allow that to continue.

There is also that mystery. Let's face it what anyone tells you happens after we die to our minds is 100% based upon speculation. That is something we will find out when we actually die.

If it is truly oblivion as some people think then a robot body again can be appealing.

If it is something else then by going with the robot body you could be missing the next stage of existence... in reality though you wouldn't be.

Let's face it being able to transfer your mind into a robot assumes that our mind is quantifiable and is stored in a format that can be transferred.

This would be making a digital COPY. That word is important as what that means is that the COPY has your memories and continues, and the original actually dies... or goes onto that next mystery adventure.

In fact what is to stop you from being downloaded into many robot bodies.

What is to stop some narcissistic power hungry nut from creating a robotic army of himself... 1000 George Soros robots coming to a protest near you....

1000 Donald Trump robots plated in gold.

1000 Hillary Clinton robots....

This is another one of those fun and deep topics that we could talk about for a very long time.

The movie Chappie shows this possibility. I think Tron also do so with the identity disc...


There are quite a few movies that have done this. Though they are coming out a lot more often now.

I really like your thoughts. I agree with all of them. This is a topic that has no definite answer and ultimately comes down to the individual. If indeed it happens someday, it will be a much different world.
