Morning my friends….it is a Sunday and my final day of rest and relaxation….I shall spend some time in the orchard and the garden today….a back to nature sort of thing….
We all have seen the movies where our “essence” is downloaded into an android or some such and in the movie things go horribly wrong and the world ends….and then is resurrected as a zombie movie of some sort…..
Some of us scoff at the idea of such a download…..but is it ever going to be a thing?
“Imagine scanning your Grandma’s brain in sufficient detail to build a mental duplicate. When she passes away, the duplicate is turned on and lives in a simulated video-game universe …. herself as the same person that she always was, with the same memories and personality — the same consciousness — transferred to a well regulated nursing home and able to offer her wisdom to her offspring forever after. And why stop with Granny? You could have the same afterlife for yourself in any simulated environment you like. But even if that kind of technology is possible, and even if that digital entity thought of itself as existing in continuity with your previous self, would you really be the same person?” (07/14/16)

Personally, I would like to have my essence downloaded….for no other reason than it would be time spent with my granddaughter and possibly her granddaughter…..
How about you?
That is my post for the day….please go out and enjoy the rest of your weekend….we can return to our normal stuff tomorrow…..
Oh chuq, I so love the not normal stuff. I don’t want to be downloaded, screw the next generation and the ones after that but then I don’t have a great daughter or granddaughter…gotz god children, grand god children, nieces, nephews, those who have yet to decide…really it is more that I linger in the mind like a good memory or a fine wine but actually contact with my “soul” is fairly combative and irritating; ask any one.
SOOoo What ever it is, I’m against it. (just a bit of self aggrandizing there) ~~dru~~
Thanx for your thoughts….chuq
A gentleman.
I can be when the time calls for it…LOL chuq
Tee Hee, thank you my friend…..me
Now sing me a song so that I can go to sleep.
My singing voice sounds like a cat in heat….LOL chuq
Wouldn’t be the first time I’ve heard that sound…I think, and I use that term hesitantly, we’re supporting at least 20 of those f*ck”ng monsters. So I guess I’ll just go back to Leonard Cohen or Disturbed or I don’t know….Pete Seeger? and try and try and try to go to sleep. It is still over 100 degrees here in Sunny So.Cal, and I’m so hyper from the dogs this weekend that I’m just…well…up! At least you’re just up back east so I can still read you…post something else. And here is a picture of two of the dogs I “took” care of this week end. They run me ragged. Way far of topic but then I have trouble focusing.

at least I didn’t say sod off but oh my I’d forgotten how much I like that phrase. hee hee and now for bed.
I have 2 rescue dogs with me and they are a handful…..Cohen is a great choice of some Spanish guitar…classical will do the trick also…have a good rest my friend….chuq
Most definitely not. One of me during a single lifetime is more than sufficient for the world in its entirety. There will never be a: ME 2.0
I apologize for the delay in responding but I do not visit much on weekends…..my granddaughter comes first….
As she should.
