Immortality

>How does a person actually become immortal
The most likely avenue, to me, involves the ability to regrow human bodies and minds from scratch, with the brain contents of an earlier stored copy; an ability to create these copies, with a nondestructive brain scan of some sort; and regular backups.

>and what is the best someone can do now to extend your life long enough to achieve revolutionary technologies
Cryonics, I'd think.

>Also, let's dispatch with the "hurr upload mind into robot" shit too.
Why? Is there a real difference between improving your body in conservative ways, and just replacing it with an all-round better-engineered thing?

>with the brain contents of an earlier stored copy
Ah, I see you're retarded, yet clever. You decided to avoid the "upload muh brain into a robit" argument by simply going with "upload muh brain into a clone". A for effort, F for IQ.

>and just replacing it with an all-round better-engineered thing?
You mean with someone else? Yeah, it's called reproducing. That's not immortality.

Oh, I'm sorry. I mistook this for a thread where OP might be interested in actually discussing possibilities. But it turns out to be just another thread to bait for, and then shit on, ideas that OP doesn't like.

I wish your shitposting thread the best of luck, OP.

Cryonics, mostly.

Also, supposedly consuming small amounts of heavy water slows aging, but consuming too much just shuts your metabolism down entirely.

Your mistake was believing I was as stupid as you are and thought replacing myself was the same as being immortal. An easy mistake for an idiot to make.

Never heard that one before. Evidence?

OP clearly has Asperger's and not that meme kind of Asperger's everyone on /sci/ says that they have.

Heavy water is toxic in large quantity's

>Hurr why can't you accept that making a word file is the same as living forever? HURRR.

>>8595358
I mean the evidence that it can extend life. That's a new one for me.

That's what this thread would be titled if it was a shitty Michael Bay film.

You're wrong, but you're also stupid, so the argument you have is name-calling. If you can't grasp why two identical objects are not the same object, then there's no hope for subhumans as mentally dysfunctional as yourself.

Find a way to put your consiousness into something not made of cells.

>>8595168
Genetically modified humans could cease physically aging after their early 20s but current humans becoming immortal is a big fat lol no.

Only known chemical to lengthen circadian oscillations. It slows all cellular division within any living thing (But too much causes sterility and death by cytotoxic poisoning)

It's like, in broscience terms, the anti-DNP

True, nutritional food does not extend life: IT IS LIFE.
Extended <> Not dying early? You are illogical.
I think if you're going to find something magical beyond the nutrition your body needs, lots of magic seeds out there for you to buy into.
