Lesson 3 • Mind Uploading

🧠⇪ MIND UPLOADING

The Sky² Program || LESSON 3:

By 2045, the Global Future 2045 International Congress hypothesized that humans will attain digital immortality by a process called "mind uploading." Mind uploading is a theoretical procedure of uploading one's biological mental state into a computer. Also called Whole Brain Emulation (WBE), this means that we will be able to back up all of our precious memories, personal traits, beliefs, ideas, idea of the 'self', and etc., into a hard drive and possibly download the brain's information into another entity of some sort, whether it is to another human, robot, or just to store in another computer. This would eliminate the need for our fragile biological body, and enable us to live in a virtual reality/ quantum world technically forever unless deleted or destroyed.

Far-fetched as this may seem, technology dealing with the brain is advancing exponentially, as seen with Elon Musk's Neuralink and in the field of brain-computer interfaces (BCIs). According to Moore's law, computing power doubles approximately every two years. Thus 2045 seems like a plausible prediction.

Now this doesn't appear completely ideal because our biological brain would not be likely to survive the mind transfer, and I can bet you that most of us would rather choose our human form over a simulated form... or at least I would >.< Nevertheless, it is interesting because we don't know how our future will pan out exactly. Moreover, trans-humanistic processes like this can be a way to extend our life and maybe even be our best option to preserve our human species.
