Taken with a grain of salt: Russian Billionaire Starts Project for Cyborg Immortality

[Zapp Brannigan]

Russian billionaire plans to make humans immortal by 2045 - Hindustan Times

Not sure what to make of the viability of this man's project, but I don't want to be an outright naysayer because I hate the idea of being the man who said something was impossible when it damn well was.

hmmmm...i don't know about this..the whole point of death is to weed out old aging generations to make way for the new..

It's going to happen before the turn of the century.


We'll be or by then tho.


Sometimes I'll OD on Ray Kurzweil & have my mind blown. He predicts in the future, we'll be able to upload our minds/consciousness like MP3 files. He also thinks that nanotechnology in the future will be able to cure any disease, reverse the effects of aging or simply cease it.....allowing us to achieve immortality. It reads like a low-grade sci-fi movie but, 70 years from now you'll be able to upload your mind into a different body once your body breaks down or you'll be able to cease aging & stay the same age permanently.


Edit: I just read what I wrote & its sound ridiculous

it wasn't an attack or anything, maybe i'm just unable to comprehend in 2013 how far we'll be able to go, but our conscious thoughts on mp3 i find kinda 'out there'. i'll definitely give this wiki page a good look



considering how far we've come though, nothing is preposterous

Nah...b. I didnt take it as an attack.

That shyt is out there to me too

He talks about alot of stuff on there. Transhumanism/Singularity, reverse engineering the human brain, computers exceeding the human brain in processing power, virtual reality (e.g. Matrix), genetic engineering (e.g. Gattaca), robots reaching the point where they're indistinguishable from humans.

I wish I would born in 2088 instead

I know he ain't make no nikkas.

 

[Mr Uncle Leroy]

how likely is it?

 

[Mr. Somebody]

The brain cannot live in preserving fluid forever. Even immortality, can die, friends.

Worst case scenario of immortality. Being locked in a box, thrown to the bottom of the ocean where you will never escape, ever.

Being buried on concrete, where you will never escape, ever. Hell exists, even for immortals, friends.

 

[krazibutkoo]

I don't see the point of immortality. Why would you want to live for ever lol

Friends watching too many vampire movies and have a notion that death is hell.
