Technological Immortality

[dyresand]

Why would anyone want to prolong human life? Why go through such a hassle just to avoid something as painless as death? In the view of Epicurus, death is something to be embraced, for it puts an end to suffering and pain. Transhumanism seems like just another way of trying to avoid or sublimate the threatening, but, for better or worse, "unavoidable shipwreck" (Schopenhauer) that nonexistence poses.

Hi, AdamLOV. When the nanotechnology becomes sophisticated enough, humanity at that stage will be able to upload the computer programs of their minds onto artificial computer hardware, of which will have far vaster computational resources than the wet-computer of the human brain. Such posthumans will be superintelligent immortal gods. The environments which they will interact with the most will be simulated environments which they find to be pleasurable: in other words, Heaven. For much more on this, see my aforecited article "The Physics of God and the Quantum Gravity Theory of Everything".

No not even possible we can store memories we won't be able to upload a consciousness yet even if we get nano robotics perfected we do not fully understand consciousness to even do that yet.  When we do it will pose a ethical and religious boundary since no one is able to die that would really had a negative affect on religion not to mention we would really be separating humans in categories at that point.
