Do you think that it's possible for humans to achieve immortality by uploading their consciousness, or their brain's physiology, into a computer?
Yes, you can achieve immortality by uploading your brain into a computer, but it is very difficult. It may be possible to upload the conscience of all humans or at least some individuals and have them live forever in cyberspace while their bodies slowly waste away. If everyone's consciences were uploaded into cyberspace then there would be no more war and nobody could die anymore.
The only problem with achieving immortality by uploading your brain into a computer is that the human body and its consciousness are very complex, and so it may be unrealistically difficult to upload all of them. However, there is one way in which you could achieve immortality by uploading at least some part of your mind.
Your mind is made up of many different parts. If you just upload one part, then your mind would still be the same as before because it relies on all its parts working together to generate consciousness.
If you upload just one part of your mind, then the rest of it would still be in its original body. You could do this for all your parts such as memories and emotions, so that every time a new part died out another one could take its place.
It is quite likely that uploading your mind or brain into a computer will be possible in the future, but it is unlikely that we can achieve immortality with it. Of course there's always a chance of achieving immortality by doing this, and if anyone does manage to do so then they would become the best human in history.
Well, I think that's everything. Thanks for the interesting topic.
