Summary

42% Informative

A start up has developed a procedure to preserve our consciousness by uploading it to a powerful computer.

Ray Kurzweil believes we'll be able to upload our entire minds to computers by 2045 , and by the end of the century our entire bodies will be replaced by machines.

But there are a few issues we need to solve first , including processing power and storage space.

Brain storage is not a new concept.

Alcor Life Extension Foundation has more than 150 bodies and severed heads stored in liquid nitrogen.

Nectome developed aldehyde stabilized cryopreservation, or ASC .

The idea is to retrieve the information that's stored on the brain anatomy over long time scales.

The YouTube algorithm is like an evil, sentient digital consciousness bent on our destruction. But with your help, we can defeat it. Until next time, be safe, be kind, and know that you are appreciated..
