We can't ever hope to simulate 86 billion neurons and their 100 trillion connections which the brain comprises, and if we could there would be no way to transfer consciousness to a machine.

Yes it is. Get 100TB of storage, get some decent hardware, run the biochemical simulations. It might take a year to do a minute of simulations with basic equipment, but it would still be an accurate result, and indistinguishable from the real human mind operating over a 1 minute timespan.

>>58462774
>Mind uploading
Literally everything we know about consciousness points in the direction of it being inextricably linked to the physical brain. No amount of engineering will overcome an absolute barrier, though I'm not entirely sure if a Ship of Theseus approach couldn't (sort of) work. But "uploading" inherently means making a copy and that copy wouldn't be you - so if immortality is your goal, it'd be completely useless.

If by consciousness you mean "awareness" or the cartesian theatre, then you are right. But whose to say a computer mind doesn't also have its form of cartesian theatre, as its also in the end based on the physical processes of electrons flowing through transistors. You are fundementally talking about the "hard problem" as its called in neuroscience circles. But, if our advanced form of awareness is the result of complex interactions of physical particles, then physical particles must have a basic form of awareness, thus a simulated mind being built on physical hardware must also be aware.

Like the above poster said anon, your brain isn't a computer. It just doesn't work that way. Your brain stem is not running firmware, your frontal lobe is not an OS, and your memories are not just random bits of stored data.

>>58465301
>what is physical simulation
How hard is that to get through your thick head? There isn't any magic going on there, every biochemical reaction in your brain can be simulated algorithmically.

>>58465145
>>58465213
The problem isn't simulating a brain but whether it's possible to upload yourself into a machine and still be yourself (as opposed to a 100% accurate copy).

>>58465326
By the end every 7 years every statistically atom in your brain is replaced with different ones, or at least completely changed positions to completely different areas. You already are a copy.

I'd try to cure mortality.

I once heard in an interview that there is no focus on it because a. you can help people easier by focusing on small issues like feeding people b. moral issues. So it really meeds more attention.

>>58465326
I don't care about discontinuity, that's a retarded falacy. If you play the same song from two different computers, does that change the song? No. If you play the same human from two different physical representations does that change the human? No.

>>58465326
You are confusing instances and objects (in programming terms). A human is defined as the object, and each "frame" of time in reality an "instance" of you exists. The instance of you from a few seconds ago is dead. The only "you" that's alive is the present you. You are just a copy of what you were in the past already, so mind uploading really shouldn't be any different.

A colony in Venus would be a good start.

>>58465336
>every 7 years every statistically atom in your brain is replaced with different ones
I'm aware of that, hence the mentioning of Theseus' Ship.

>>58465346
>If you play the same human from two different physical representations does that change the human?
Well, obviously. But that's not what people mean when they talk about "uploading their mind" - the idea is that your consciousness gets "transfered' into the computer and ceases to exist in your physical brain which, quite frankly, isn't possible no matter how you look at it.

>You are just a copy of what you were in the past already, so mind uploading really shouldn't be any different.
I'm not convinced it's *that* simple. We really don't know all that much about consciousness except that it is generated by the physical brain and I have my doubts that killing a dude and activating a copy of him is the same as current me VS. me five minutes ago.

>>58464262
Quantum mechanics fuck with the laws of thermodynamics.

>>58465415
are you aware of 1 second ago like you are aware of the present? Or is it just a memory? It's just a memory, you only are "alive" in the present, and therefore are dying every plank second, to be reborn as a new instance of yourself. This is a gross oversimplification, but essentially is true. Being copied to a computer is no different, because the "you" that got destroyed to be copied was already going to be dead in the next instant anyway. So in the end it makes no difference.

>>58465478
>the "you" that got destroyed to be copied was already going to be dead in the next instant anyway
Let's say the original physical body/brain doesn't get destroyed (aka the default option) and now there's two copies of me - which is the "real" one, or rather, which body contains the original stream of consciousness? The answer is obvious: the original brain. They can't be both "real", at least not in the sense that matters to humans. Also, your argument is based on extrapolations of our current knowledge, which is very limited to say the least. So, I dare say there's no definitive answer yet and we just have to wait until science has advanced to the point where the evidence is unambiguous.

>We already have the wiring for avoiding obesity.
No, we have the wiring to get fat easily and lost weight with difficulty. Even in a meme diet like keto or paleo you can gain weight and lose it is relatively difficult. (Obese have it easier metabolically speaking, but still is difficult)
In evolution terms, being fat for us was never a problem, but lost weight was a death sentence.
You have to solve some problems anyways.
For example, if you rewire your brain to not drop the metabolism while dieting, that shit would be easy as fuck.
If you rewire reward centres, you can modify behavior towards food. You can modify population to find food lest tastier.
If you rewire satiation levels you can modify it to get them activated with less difficulty, considering that our processed foods are easily chewable.
If you rewire the set point in brain, you can reset it to start rejecting weight gain after certain body fat threshold. The problem of post-obese folks that make it to their ideal weight is that his brain is settled to certain threshold of body fat, so they start to get hungrier and their metabolism drops. If you modify them for keep at a low level, maintain their weight will be easier.
Its a fucking complicated thing; weight regulation is complex as fuck (Cat-v psychos would scream at it) but a lot can be done at brain level to improve the matter.

Your post seemed to imply that there wasn't a satisfactory dollar cost/benefit ratio for going to the moon, but I can't imagine that there is a satisfactory dollar cost/benefit ratio for the ISS or a Mars colony. I understand if you are saying that the ISS/Mars colony will offer more benefits than a Lunar colony, but it just seemed like you were saying a Moon colony wasn't going to give back the money it cost to make.

>>58465642
I remember reading an article about how big of a pain in the ass it would be to maintain one, it would be way too expansive, plus the dust is so thin it would be actually a very big problem maintaining the equipment in a good state on the long run.
So, too much work and trouble for what it’s worth basically.

>>58465680
Because I'd like to live long enough to move into the said colony. We know how to build blimps. We have a pretty good idea of the conditions in the Venus. I feel pretty confident that, with unlimited funding, we could make a colony in Venus work in a couple decades. A submerged colony in the surface of one of Jupiter's or Saturn's moons? Just getting a probe there so we can assess the conditions properly would probably take 20 years. And then you have to build something liveable that can withstand those conditions while being (mostly) self-sustaining? And it would NEED to be self-sustaining, since getting any resources from Earth to there would be a pain in the ass. Getting resources to Venus would be simple by comparison.

>>58465775
>nothing to gain
yeah because the first couple trips there, and having a floating space station in constant freefall have proven us nothing of value is in space habitat...

humanity is already planned/planning extraction trips to asteroids, having a base of operations for transport, regulating, and assuring earths safety BEFORE bringing it into our atmosphere is essential if we plan to plant seeds across our solarsystem, and the rest of the galaxy.

not even mentioning the potential for people to properly prospect and maybe even mine it for valuable resources. also as a country, being the first one with a real base on/under the moon will give you a massive strategic advantage over other countries, not just militarily but economically as well.

Well, yes, but there's no water on Venus and that's the whole crux. On Europa you got actual fluid water that could very easliy sustain any size of colony for an indefinite amount of time. Venus, on the other hand, requires water from an external source forever.

>>58466146

>Well, yes, but there's no water on Venus and that's the whole crux. On Europa you got actual fluid water that could very easliy sustain any size of colony for an indefinite amount of time. Venus, on the other hand, requires water from an external source forever.
There's carbon dioxide, which you can get oxygen out of. There are also sources of hydrogen in the atmosphere. Synthesizing water isn't hard to do, especially since the said colony would presumably have plentiful solar energy available. Europe has water, but water isn't the only thing you need. Energy is another big one, especially since you're presumably submerged in a near-freezing and need tons of energy just to keep warm.

considering nobody has every excavated the moon, there's no telling what we'll find, and if corporations are willing to bet on asteroids hosting rare minerals, i find it stupid as there is just as likely a chance of the moon having them, if not moreso as the moon/earths gravity outweigh those of asteroids.

>>58466335
if people plan on diggin into asteroids, we will first need a moon base.
firstly to ensure the materials wont react dangerously with the planets environment without having to put the planet at risk by doing so.
secondly to easily catch these objects. we have a terrible screening process for asteroids, being able to intercept close ones, and react quickly following spotting them, without worrying about bullshit like climate slowing you down...

and finaly using up more resources to get to the object you plan to mine is idiotic and counter productive for companies who want to make $$$
