I’ve often wondered if eventually our consciousnesses will be able to be downloaded and live on inside some kind of supercomputer - storing all of our memories and experiences even after our bodies wither away. The human brain has something like 10^12 neural connections which is amazing but technology is getting to the point where storing this amount of information is now possible (and increasing exponentially over time).

I think that’d be pretty cool - essentially it’d create an encyclopedia of all amassed human knowledge and experience that’d be available for anyone (including those whose consciousnesses were “in the box” living on already) to reference and access at will. Sort of like a hive mind but not exactly - a collection of different minds.

Think of what we could learn and accomplish. Virtually limitless possibility.

While I do not believe in the traditional notions of “souls” or “afterlives” or “gods”, these sorts of technological innovations could be our way to create such things (in a way) for ourselves. Just don’t run that supercomputer on a windows OS! 😆

Pretty interesting times we live in... We play god and we can now almost literally create god as we wish.
