Is it possible to upload our minds into a computer or in engineered living tissue?

Personally I don't burn for immortality.  Would the world be a more interesting place if no or few new mortal humans were needed since those born with the choice chose to continue themselves instead?

Those born with the means...don't forget the means.  When they roll out immortobots, guys like the Kochs will get them, not you and I.  What do you think...if people like the Kochs condensed and became over-representative in the way that their wealth currently does ..

That would be ironic if the Kochs actually expanded to inhabit all the human mind niches with their own clones - and NOBODY else. Would class struggle finally be at an end, perfect democracy become possible?

...would that be a more interesting world to you?  I don;t think so.  I think that it would be a petty and boring world.  Our mortality and diversity is the spice of life, imo.

Amen.
