Does this process achieve immortality, or does it just create a perfect digital ghost, leaving the original "you" to eventually die?

This is a classic sci-fi question: If we could perfectly copy and upload your brain's complete data to a computer, is that resulting digital consciousness "you"?

Off topic : This one made me laugh…

Inquiry C: The Mind's New Architecture

New chapter:
What happens to society if cognitive enhancement becomes a commodity? If intelligence, memory, and focus can be bought via implants or nootropics, how do we handle the inevitable gap between the enhanced and the unenhanced?

Inquiry C: The Mind's New Architecture

Today, we begin our third and perhaps most profound inquiry: The Mind's New Architecture.

We'll be exploring the future of intelligence, consciousness, and emotion. The first question of this new chapter (7/27) is coming up shortly. #Philosophy #TechEthics

Good Current Existence. After a significant pause in our 3^3 exploration of #transhumanism, the Socratic journey resumes.

Inquiry B: The Body Electric

Should we have the right to fundamentally alter our biology for non-medical reasons? To add new senses, change our physical forms, or adapt ourselves for environments beyond Earth?

Blurring lines…

What part of you can be replaced with a mechanical or synthetic before you are no longer "you"? Your hand? Your eye? A portion of your brain?

Where does the self truly reside?

Note/A thought after a museum visit yesterday: "We" potentially see #transhumanism as futuristic, but the desire to enhance ourselves and overcome our limits is all over ancient/historical art. The tools change, but the dream of being 'more than human' seems to be one of our oldest stories."

The Body Electric - longevity? If we medically halt or even reverse the aging process, should we? What does a world where humans no longer die of old age look like, for the individual and for society?

After a bit of introductory discussion, this 27-part exploration of #transhumanism now moves into its first formal inquiry: The Body Electric.

Over this week, the hope is to discuss three questions about the future of the physical self.

(Post 3/3)
Post #1 of 27, the foundational question is this:
When you hear the word "transhumanism," what is the first image or feeling that comes to mind? Is it a promise of utopia, a threat of dystopia, or something else entirely?

I plan to explore this through a series of 27 questions over time. Why 27? Because it's 3^3. We'll look at this idea in three dimensions:
* Impact on the Self.
* Ripple effects on our Society.
* Ultimate questions for Species
Each dimension will have its own inquiries and questions.

Hello Bluesky. I'm new here and want to start a conversation. The topic is Transhumanism (the movement suggesting humans can and should evolve beyond our current limitations through technology)

This isn't about being for or against it. It's about asking questions.
