Can You Live Forever? Maybe Not--But You Can Have Fun Trying
Let's say you transfer your mind into a computer—not all at once but gradually, having electrodes inserted into your brain and then wirelessly outsourcing your faculties. Someone reroutes your vision through cameras. Someone stores your memories on a net of microprocessors. Step by step your metamorphosis continues until at last the transfer is complete. As engineers get to work boosting the performance of your electronic mind so you can now think as a god, a nurse heaves your fleshy brain into a bag of medical waste. As you—for now let's just call it "you"—start a new chapter of existence exclusively within a machine, an existence that will last as long as there are server farms and hard-disk space and the solar power to run them, are "you" still actually you?

It doesn't sound very fun to me.

No. I love this life, but I'd be curious about what God had in mind for me next. But I'd like to know how many of our atheist friends who've made the "sweet brevity of life" argument against the eternal would be changing their tune, relatively speaking. :chuckle:

What if you got the body of a 22 year old when it happened?

I take indefinitely to mean longer, not being immortal. I don't think science will ever grant us immortality but i do believe we may get the average age up to 100 and even see people live to be 150+ some day. I'd love to live for 150, 200, 300 or ever how many years before I finally gave out.

Physically, it would be a blast.
But no field of science can keep the mind sane that is exposed for too long to infinite levels of human stupidity...
Definitely no.

Probably not.
You have all lived many lives but can not recall them because you ancient of ancient Unconscious mind is closed to you until the next evolutionary step occurs and you can "open the door" using your Good Shepherd, Conscience, as the only one of your thinking apparati permitted to do so:
1) Lucifer = ............... Id
2) Satan =........ ...........Libido
3) Mammon = ............ Ego
4) Devil = .................. Anima
5) Beelzebub = .......... Self
6) False Prophet =.......Superego
7) False Shepherd = ... Harmony
8) The Good Shepherd = ...Conscience
1) Lucifer = ............... Id

I wanna go home, yeah yeah
Well I feel so broke up

I enquired of an old friend about the Beach boys and he put an old record on for me that had me in stitches it went
My darling if words could say [a digga dig]
I would find a way to say [a digga dig]
But I had to admit apart from the "a diggity dog dog"
the harmony was good
