"I think instinctively we know that's bullshit."
As for brain uploading, Hendricks said the idea came from people in technology who "think about computers too much", convincing themselves that the brain is hardware and the self is software that can be run on it - or in a computer, or on a robot. "If I could really be uploaded to be made immortal in a computer, then I should be happy to just kill myself right now as long as someone tells me, like, oh, you're living in that metal box over there,” he said. "But I don't think many people would take that bet. I think instinctively we know that's bullshit."
