Existence: What the fuck is going on?
March 27, 2015 at 8:51 pm
The answer to what we are is not as simple as pointing to the atoms that make us up. Our bodies are recyclers that take in new atoms and discard others. What used to be us 5 years ago is not us now as every atom has been replaced.

So what are we? We are a pattern of thoughts that make up our consciousness. When we die we no longer have a vessel to house our consciousness so it is extinguished.

One day technology will be able to make possible the downloading of our consciousness. People can live eternally in a virtual reality or in a manufactured body.

The problem with this is we will most likely be dead before this immortalizing technology is invented.
