Ahh so the idea would be that the upload wipes the original so there arent multiple copies kicking around.
Seems like making new people would be difficult unless you made everyone keep a bio body until they had reached mental maturity and made more humans ..
The digital immortality you want: living forever in a virtual paradise.
The digital immortality you get: you are recorded doing something stupid that ends any career or relationship potential and is never able to be removed from the internet.
In another aspect, what does uploading ones self look like and when is the upload taken? Do they kill the original body after taking the upload or is there a you living out their days stuck in the mortal husk while another you (possibly not the one you are) is off living it up in an immortal body or virtual paradise?
It's like trying to fix a knife wound by putting a sign next to the wound saying no infections allowed rather than doing something about the knife welding maniac ..
They are referred to as settlers, I assume that comes from the translation of what they call themselves in Hebrew? Do the Palestinians refer to the places the Israeli settlers move to as colonies or their own towns as colonies? Not sure the Palestinians can colonies something they've lived in for hundreds of years? Is this also a translation issue?
It never really occurred to me that Israel are calling their settlers settlers because they see themselves in the same way as American pioneers expanding out into the frontier. It really brings to mind what those pioneers actually were and what they did.
Sonic Chaos was pretty great
I noticed today at my local coffee shop that Australia's Murdoch owned national news paper is pushing hard on Iranian terrorism and spy shit so looks like they are priming our RWNJs to clutch their pearls real hard. I assume Murdoch's media empire is in lock step with that shit in preparation.
Is there anything peptides can't do?
I mean the data harvesting and advertising markets are shrivelling because these arseholes pushed their shit way too hard and made the systems unusable, so it's not surprising he's trying to pivot to the next morally void money making grift to satisfy the yawning void that should have been his soul. Just keep shovelling human misery in Zuck, I'm sure it will fill up eventually. Probably should have jumped on this one a few years ago though.
At this point we should be assuming all Israelis are war criminals, expelling any Israeli citizens who are currently here and having them prove they are refugees though the existing process if they want to enter or stay.
interesting .. I never would have thought to put all the cheese under the toppings. Do you not find the toppings are more likely to fall off?
I don't know that FlashMobOfOne needs to just apply a dystopian tv show to the only possibility of how they see it playing out. Other ideas are a thing, particularly if they are 100% signing up. Would they still 100% sign up if the copy gets the digital immortality but FlashMobOfOne still has to live on in their own skull regardless? If that's the case why bother? You'd effectively create another person that is based on you but isn't you, they'd think of themselves as you, but OEM hardware would probably still hold the rights to the title.
