now grab that and put it into an artificial biomechanical body
easy immortality is easy
>inb4 muh alzheimer

An artificial body won't stop your neurons from aging and dying

He can just walk really slowly.Read some Einstein sweetie.
>>9151738
the trick is to build long-lasting synthetic neurons and slowly switch it like the Ship of Theseus
>>9151609
The even better thing to do.
>Frontal lobotomy
>Install electronics package in place
>Programmable human
Imagine the applications. Do you think this is being worked on somewhere in an underground bunker?

Frederick the great already did it long ago without modern bio-engineering or robotics -- it's called public schools.
If that's my CNS what's inside me rn wtf im scared now

google "immortal chicken heart"
Some guy kept a chicken heart alive indefinitely in a glass jar by replacing the fluids in the jar every day or so. I'd imagine you could do the same with a brain and keep it alive indefinitely kinda like the jars in head in Futurama.
The real question is, would a clear transparent jar (so I can look like Mother Brain some evil villain) have any effect on the brain? Can the brain get a sunburn?

All we need to achieve way longer lifespans is getting a way to feed our brain outside our bodies and have a way to send and receive information from it.

Only "but it'd just be a copy!" brainlets opt for bio-integrated immortality. Patrician immortals are 100% machine.
Why does looking at that make me feel so uncomfortable
>>9152792
Because your brain normally gives you the illusion of being some magical cartoon person and this picture breaks that illusion by showing you you're really a horrifying dead tree jelly mollusk wrapped in a few layers of meat.
>>9152582
>way longer
>forever
hmmm
>>9152845
same thing since neither are true
>>9152845
>way longer
?

i mean, at least we weren't born as some fruit fly right?
>>9152901
Being a fruit fly would be wonderful. You would be so retarded that you wouldn't know anything, it's perfect. Ignorance is bliss.
>>9152909
i thought knowledge was power. why be powerless? i mean do you really want to live not realizing you've been eating shit like an idiot?
>>9152805
you are not even that, only a small region of the brain is responsible for conscious thought
>>9151738
you would need nanomachines that can manipulate processes within a cell, they could remove beta amyloid plaques, replace damaged dna, as long as the system is well managed and you have energy you could live indefinitely
>>9152805
feels bad
