Future of stored Consciousness
Technology; rather would say the research is taking the world towards where reaching immortality is just as injecting a vaccine. It all started to wonder many scenarios in future when the peaks of artificial intelligence reach to uncontrollable or a catch22 situation.
We are getting immunised to almost any type of diseases with the life expectancy of the human are reaching near to 100 from last few years (Source). I remember when I was studying Indian astrology, I learnt human life is considered to 120 years and hence the dasha of the human cycle. So a system or belief is a mythology or a philosophy until its proved to become science.
Michio Kaku, the future thinker and a physicist talk about what the future would be like. He talks about the reaching immortality, Telekinetics and telepathy, which we are just near to reach that level. In one his presentation on future of mind he mentions that it’s possible to store the consciousness, which would help is talk to our dead ones. This sounded like one of the black magics at Indian villages, which was bringing back the soul and talking to it.
So what would happen when I store the consciousness of the dead, I would talk to it? And where would I store it? In a bag; a tumbler or on another being. I was trying to answer such questions and with scenario.
Multiple Entities of the same
I store my dead grandfather conscious in a box. I would be communicating with him then and thereby and this conscious will be learning and understanding with the day to day activities. So he is still living his life. I got to give a copy of this conscious to my brother as he is going abroad and he misses his grandfather as much as I do. So now what happens with these two
- If after few years when they both meet again with two differently learned conscious, what would happen. Does these two same conscious with different learning talk to each other and how?
- Assuming if syncing is turned on, multiple consciousness (grandfather)- does it affect the time and space if at two different places one action takes place before synching with other which is dependent on the action at the another place.
I am trying to speculate how this effects and what we might end up with. If the artificial intelligence is seriously artificial as in the one of the Black Mirror episode. We need to wait and see.
