So how can we (realistically) achieve immortality?
>>
>>18511576
you dont and if you're asking x for opinions on how to achieve that you are sub 80 iq range and it wouldnt even happen to begin with
>>
>>18511576
Modern medicine will allow us to to become immortal within 40 years most likely.
It is all thanks to deeper understanding about our bodies and aging really.
All you need to do is to keep being alive to that point and having quite a bit of money.
So go out and keep yourself healthy by working out, eating healthy. I would recommend not eating too much protein (not stopping eating it tho, that would be stupid) as that will increase your life quite a lot.
>>
>>18511576
Stop brain cells from dying. That's literally the only way. We can replace everything else relatively easily.

I think that there's some sort of monk technique that lets your soul leave your body, killing it but letting you live free of your flesh.

That's quite a wait.

Actually, neural and muscle tissue are some of the most resistant to aging. Both basically last forever, unless you actually have a degenerative illness.

That's not immortality, you goon.

That's literally the only legit method. Anything else is just replacing yourself with something that isn't yourself.

Everything keeps happening time and again, there is no end, no need to be bioimmortal. Even if you live until all mass decays back into empty space you'll still die then, and the universe will be unrecognizable to its current state long before then.

>>18511685
I find it irritating that everyone just expects the universe to not be eternal with zero evidence, and everyone just accepts without question that the way it will end is by gradually just descending into cold blackness, again, with no evidence to support this delusional belief.

It's simply a trend and it's annoying.

It is, but do you want to live only a few years more or until you get killed in some freak accident thousands of years in the future?

I'm confident I will make it. Not doing any drugs/alcohol, working out and doing a restricted protein intake but with all nutrients.diet.
Doing what I can to keep the brain in shape with crosswords, sudoko, learning new languages, math etc.
Also I seem to have good genes as all my grandparents and great grandparents became 90+.

>>18511694
It's what you learn when you see the light. Once all matter decays every region of the universe will pull equally on itself until it become so dense that it erupts outward again. Mass and energy are formed to allow the space to become more distant from itself again and matter will preserve itself, energy will dissipate itself, both as efficiently as possible.

Well I'm a molucar biologist. With an internship for a pharmaceutical company,
I agree that it can be like a religion for some, but if scientific progress keep going at the same pace as today (and it only show signs of accelerating) then we will reach biological immortality within 40 years.

So what can be done NOW, TODAY to ensure a person lives long enough to become immortal (other than just the obvious diet and exercise)?

Philosophical answer: You already have by existing.

Rational answer: Consciousness swapping into non degradble self sustaining mediums that require no upkeep.
>>
>>18511576
If we as humans can travel through time with our minds ie memories/premonition then we are projecting time and death onto ourselves the further from order we get the less we can effect until we gain the knowledge of how to effect it. If you cannot see past the oncoming transcendence you will be unchanged as to what life is on earth is and your cycle will remain. Earth is alive and it consumes chaos. Do not fear what see if it is what you know.

Not sure if anyone can give me a vaild answer on here, but our body already kind've does this naturally right?

From what I understood, our cells die off and get recycled after a certain amount of time, so after 7 yrs you a pretty much a new person. (idk if that's true or just a medical myth.)

So the philosophical repercussions of "Am I still Me?" shouldn't really be that big of a deal with Wetware integration.

You attain immortality the same way you attain any other miracle. Know that it is already done, and do not waver. Live in the joy of the wish fulfilled. Die to your old reality and be born again. For what things soever you desire, when you pray, believe you have received them, and they shall surely be thine.

What you chase you can never catch. What you resist persists. Know it now, then you will have won.

Turn inward for your journey.

Looking at "modern" medicine now we are at a standstill. Not only that- it is not lucrative to the people extending life to make it unending.

Unending life through manipulation of the human body is not something that will ever become reality. However, the storage and implantation of what we perceive as consciousness through technology is something that is very possible.

Telling you wont help you reach it.

But for the sake of your curiosity,
If you comprehend enough laws of the universe you will have control over these laws, allowing you to change the processes in your body as you like(In other words, be immortal as long as you want to).

However if your body reach that comprehension before your mind does then you have no choice but to be immortal without a way to stop it without first comprehending these laws with your consciousness, which could take thousands if not millions of years unless you get a sudden enlightment(sudden idea/understanding) of it.

Holy shit you think you are an edgy snowflake; however, you're just a series of unfortunate stored memories inside of a middle aged virgin.

Two middle aged virgins (such as yourself) that are identical twins are not the same person. However, if for some fucked off reason someone decides to clone you, and transfer your sad life sequence into your clone. I could shoot your dumbass in the face, and no one could tell the difference.

information is an indestructible phenomenon.
over greater distances, information grows exponentially harder to detect as a point is influenced by a greater sphere.
this is a law, information is contained in energy forever rippling through space. this is why there is only one possible future. all things in the future is the result of external information.
think of time progression as a simulation, this is the easiest way to imagine it. if you were to look at a single frame of time, picture a crossection of the brain of a person in a sensory deprivation tank, as in no utside information streams, and if you had recorded all information out of it, as in the velocity of every electron, the position of every proton, the exact temperature and placement of every particle and if you were able to apply perfect physics to this model, then minute for minute, the thoughts of this person would align exactly with their computer replica. in real time. this is the nature of information. it behaves like any other tangible part of our universe. energy cannot be created or destroyed, neither can matter, neither can information. information just happens to be the highest form of existance.
since space is infinite, there are infinite instances of alien life. in the natural progression of life, all life in any form will eventually develop artificial intelligence greater than their own intelligence. something that is neither like a computer mind, nor like an organic brain. a cluster of synapses that cover their home planet, transmitting data throughout their solar system. at this stage of life, alien life will no longer resemble life as we know it. there will be no need for bodies, since reality itself can be simulated within a mind such as this with a higher level of detail than reality itself. there will be no births or death, there will be no currency, there will be no trade, or pain. all will be known. distant echoes of static energy reverberating through space can be

>>18513591
Deep. Makes perfect sense though, I agree with every word.
>>
>>18513591
>>18513591
as easily as one looks through a telescope. all events future past and present can be observed over and over again instantaneously. the end of the universe as well as the beginning of the universe could be as easily observed asflipping to the end or the beginning of a book. this is how a biological organism could, over a very very long expanse of time, take the form of something you would imagine as a god.

wrapping it up i promise

remember that part about information being indestructible? time being infinite? such being already exist, recording information from electromagnetic frequencies rippling through the universe. we are being watched. all that is, and was, and will be is being recorded and accounted for. this includes you anon. whether by alien life that will only exist in 11 million years once our "light" reaches them, or by our own race once it has gained the technology to peer this far into the past with enough detail.

back to the part about the brains. if someones brain was recorded, down to the exact motions of the electrons (the part about having simulations more complex than reality) and put into a perfect physics simulation, this "computerized brain" would think the same thoughts and make the same choices as the biological brain. it would be a copy of you that was pure information. picture this purely information version of you as a soul. it already exists. you will never be immortal, everything dies. but who you were, are, and will be is an indestructible force frozen in time, (time cannot pass over information in the form of light) reverberating into space.
so in a sense everything is immortal.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
>>
>>18513591
Information isn't indestructible. Information is very easily corrupt-able and therefor destroy-able.

You are making wayyy too many baseless speculations.

>This is why there is only one possible future
So you know the future?
>if you had recorded all information out of it, as in the velocity of every electron, the position of every proton, the exact temperature and placement of every particle and if you were able to apply perfect physics to this model, then minute for minute, the thoughts of this person would align exactly with their computer replica. in real time. this is the nature of information.
Another huge baseless speculation.

Also what makes you think information has to behave like energy and follow the law of conversation of energy? That doesn't make any sense and if you logically think about it for 2 seconds you might figure out why without me having to explain it.

>since space is infinite, there are infinite instances of alien life
Another retarded speculation. There's definitely a finite amount of civilizations, who know's how large the number is, but unless there's an infinite number of parallel universes this is also just another logical fallacy.

>a cluster of synapses that cover their home planet, transmitting data throughout their solar system. at this stage of life, alien life will no longer resemble life as we know it. there will be no need for bodies, since reality itself can be simulated within a mind such as this with a higher level of detail than reality itself. there will be no births or death, there will be no currency, there will be no trade, or pain. all will be known. distant echoes of static energy reverberating through space can be
However this isn't such a preposterous thing to speculate. I also lean towards simulation hypothesis and also think that it's likely there are many forms of superior intelligences that don't resemble us biologically or perhaps intelligences that have no biological form at all

>>
>>18513632
I'm not closed minded because I don't agree with something that's logically refutable.

Information is destructible. A hard drive and human memory is a good example. Yeah the destruction can be attributed to physical phenomenon but it doesn't change the fact that information can cease to exist without ever being able to be replicated again... as an artist this is painfully obvious.

>Links a wikipedia page about a hypothetical paradox
Okay? That doesn't explain why information can't be destroyed?

Black holes aren't even proven, they're also just a theory to explain observable phenomenon.

Here's the key word out of what you just linked
>Calculations suggest that physical information could permanently disappear in a black hole, allowing many physical states to devolve into the same state.
SUGGEST

I can tell you're one of those people who says anyone who doesn't agree with you in closed minded.
>>
>>18513618
>so you know the future?

i know the logical progression of information, building into more and denser information. past that, yes it is information, but ive obviously put more thought into it than you have. and quit it with this straw man shit. corruptibility and destructibility are two completely different things. ill say it again, information can never be destroyed. you layer more information on top of information, its corrupted, but it isn't destroyed. origional information can always be retreived with a higher level of examination. go back to the spheres part.

>Calculations suggest that physical information could permanently disappear in a black hole, allowing many physical states to devolve into the same state.

read a little bit further until youve arrived at a little concept called hawking radiation
>>
>>18513654
no. formatting your hard drive does not destroy the information. i think im going to have to break down the concept of information to you.
what sound does the computer make when the hard drive was written?
electromagnetic frequencies constantly being given off by the hard drive?
electromagnetic frequencies given off by the hard drive when it was written?
the data in a hard drive cannot be equated to information.

when the hard drive was written, an electromagnetic frequency echoed off into space. it is very tiny, yes, it is impossible to decode (by our technology) even a few feet away, yes
and the farther away it gets, the smaller of a point it is, but it is never gone.
destroying the hard drive does not stop that wave from flying off into space, the wave will always be flying off into space.
>>
>>18513655
I'm not saying it's impossible, but just think for a second m8, logically, information can be destroyed. Corruption can be a form of destruction.


Everything you're basing this on is speculation just like the idea itself even though reality points in the opposite direction...

> A fundamental postulate of quantum mechanics is that complete information about a system is encoded in its wave function up to when the wave function collapses.

When that wave function collapses, so does the information. You basically refuted yourself in your own argument and didn't even notice.

I'm not gonna reply anymore though, this is clearly a waste of time if you can't logically understand how information, when it's changed, ceases to be the same information.

>>18513663
that is light. until it turns into another form of energy (information conserved, in the form of space or frequency) it becomes 2 dimensional, time cannot pass over moving light
>>
>>18513664
a wave fuction collapses when light turns back into some other form of energy.
like light turning into heat maybe?
like maybe a camera flash hitting a lense?
wave form collapses on the lense, does that mean that the information within the wave form collapses too? no, it turns into an image. information changes forms, whether contained within matter or energy, however, the information, however corrupted, no matter where it goes, remains information, and yes i do hope you stop replying, i feel like im argueing with a child

The most realistic way I can figure is through a combination of medicine and tech. Figuring out a way to put our consciousness into a machine body and keep us from going insane after being alive for thousands of years is a pretty huge task though. That being said, if we could manage such a thing somehow, our transition into a fully space-faring race would be very easy. Once we got to that point it would just be a matter of expanding our population throughout the solar system and eventually the universe so that we can fit the trillions upon trillions of undying cyborgs somewhere.

>Putting data in a robot is the same as me becoming immortal

How many of you fake human p zombies are there? I swear to christ it's like you subhuman monsters can't grasp the meaning of the pronoun "You".
>>
>>18513728
I'm convinced of this: >>18515154

These literal subhumans are not really human. They're like humans with part of the mind shaved off or something through degeneration. They literally can't grasp the concept of personality.

>Haha but the old philosphers couldn't figure it out. Checkmate non-retards!
That's because most people are blatant idiots. The self has never been a difficult concept. People are composite entities. Take away all the parts and they cease to be. Body, mind, spirit (if there even is such a thing) are all disparate, and upon death flee from one another and decay. MAYBE if you were ACTUALLY taking the mental storage components of the actual meatware brain and putting physically into a robot, THEN you could say that you had "put your mind in a robot". But just copying information out of your brain? You literally have to not be a fully functional human to not be capable of grasping that isn't you. Is a reflection of yourself in a mirror you? This is basic fucking shit, people, god damn.

I heard something about Telomerase being a key feature to unlocking immortality. Have to research it more
>>
>>18515180
There's so much shit. Telomeres can also shorten due to processes that cause mutation (in highly inbred lines there seems to be a process whereby telomeres are shortened via mutation).

>>18515154
>I can't grasp the concept of moving 'you' from one body to another, so you're a subhuman retard

>>18515256
Woops didn't finish the comments.

Some aspects of aging seem to be related to how the organelles are packaged in the cell. So in those early aging children there are like bubbles between the nucleus and cytoplasm and it's not well understand why it causes the effects of aging. How the DNA is packaged and read also changes over time.
>>
>>18515269
No, you actually can't, because if you could you'd realize nothing is "moved" when you copy and paste. You make a copy and install that COPY into the new vessel. The same thing is true with fucking computer files. You're not "moving" anything. People who use this "muh zombie robit" retard argument literally don't know enough about computers to have an opinion on the subject. You can't even grasp basic software concepts, but you think you're going to turn into a robot?

YES, this actually means you are a literal subhuman retard who CAN'T THINK.
>>
>>18515283
You're constricting concepts of altering human consciousness into the copy paste function on your computer. If anyone is a subhuman retard incapable of thought, I'd have to argue that it's you. But keep typing in all caps, that'll make you look at least halfway intelligent, right?
>>
>>18515291
It's the exact same process, you idiot.
>>
>>18513499
Biologist here, CRISPR is neat, but only has a programmable binding domain. Meaning we can target specific sections of DNA it's still pretty far from being up to this task. The insertion protocol is basically spray and pray.

Throw a bunch of nucleotide sequences at it, and hope the DNA repair enzymes incorporate one of them after the break. They might grab zero, one, two, twelve.... Who knows.

Also, imagine doing this for every single cell in your body. Several times. If you were still a zygote, it would be feasible but I wouldn't count on this kind of gene editing helping anyone but your theoretical children.
>>
>>18511576
Singularity. Once we achieve this it will allow us to UL/DL consciousness. Basically YOU will be data that can be stored indefinitely, hence immortal. Bearing in mind that as long as there is technology available to keep the data safe.
>>
>>18515634
>UL/DL consciousness
So people who believe in muh robot body can't read either, right? That's what you're telling me.
>>
>>18515661
I can read just fine. Problem?
>>
>>18515535
I didn't realize you'd done it successfully. Congratulations, you're years ahead of the brightest scientific communities on Earth!
>>
>>18511634
Not immortal but expanded life, most definitely sure. I think the average age of death should increase to around 100. I don't think immortality should be doled out to everyone, because humans are fundamentally flawed.
>>
>>18512269

uh oh spaghetti-os looks like everyone knows the truth and that it's easier to transfer consciousness from neuron to neuron instead of from neuron to machine

Who is to say your consiousness will transfer to said vessel, and you won't just get an imperfect copy walking around mimicking your soul?

Here a possible starting point.

The person to live past 1000 years old has already been born, but isn't immortal yet.
>>
>>18511652
I always thought this was stupid.
If being made of metal is better, then why are we made flesh? Metal rust and needs regular manual maintenance. Then i realized it's because flesh is more flexible and adaptable. You can build a flesh to grow as strong as a steel, but not be as rigid. Or maybe make itself rigid for a bit and then proceed to be flesh. Or perhaps a metal produced from your flesh, but shed when not needed. Then we can go further and create biological modifications to adapt to any obstacle. Machines made flesh would be a true solution. Though i guess at some point the line between organic and mechanical would be unimportant in the pursuit of innovation, which i think would be a success.

don't forget it goes beyond quantum physics, as is the nature of our fractal/recursive universe. scientists don't even understand quantum physics enough yet to see the next yet.

he means the data of consciousness as well which may or may not be possible outside of this thought experiment

Infinite amounts of kidney Jing makes one immortal. You would have to create a Qi energy body, purify all meridians with plenty of Qi. Open main energy centers and connect them so all colors of Qi mix together as a preparation for Rainbow Body.

With strong kidney Jing the mixture of Qi with it creates Shen/light to open the pineal gland as a holographic sensor. The amrita fluid from pineal gland forms a shen elixir that further alters the meridians by restoring optimal genetic programming.

And then . . .
>>
Depends on your definition of immortality. I'd say the most likely way will not involve having a body, but an upload of our consciousness.
>>
We are all already immortal because we are all part of the infinite consciousness that we will return to when we die. Humanity is so small compared to the Infinite, why would you want to stay?
>>
>>18511576
Nanomachines son. The 3 biggest factors that result in death are Age, Trauma, or Sickness. With nano-machines installed into our bodies, we can regenerate cells at an accelerated rate to prevent aging. We can use them similar to fight infections, and we use them to enhance our bones,muscle tissue, and skin to make it so it is practically impossible for us to get hurt.

Now we just have to wait for robotics and medicine to have a breakthrough to implement these into people.

I'll just stay a few billion years, maybe a few trillion years, then go on to infinity afterwards when I am bored, I just like having the choice you know.

You don't want it. You have know idea just how long "forever" really is.

I don't think anyone deserves immortality. Reduced suffering? yes.

we live in promising, but also dangerous times my friend. I am far from convinced that immortality is feasible, nor morally aight.

Well I want to be immortal like an Asguardian or a Vampire. Practically immortal , but not really, just long lived, where I don't age, but only die by other means such as decapitation or incineration.

Sigh...... well..
I find this very funny because your troll is actually pretty close to how it is done, theres a small yet fatal mistake in your approach though lol...
>>
>>18519110
Also by mixing qi of all attributes together you create an invisible/transparent universal(/'chaos') qi.

Also more important than the body cultivation(/refinement) is, the comprehension of laws.
Unless you comprehend enough, your foundation will be flawed, meaning the body cultivation(/refinement) gets wasted as it follows your comprehension.

>>18513366 is the only way to do it correctly without limiting your own potentional and without side-effects.

i chose to believe dark souls canon. we are all undeD at various levels on our way to becoming hollow, the more powerful and successful of us can wield gigantic magic weapons that cost them trillions of souls to be strong enough to lift, some the size of buildings. dont roll off a cliff...
>>
>>18522705
You see, in Dark Souls the Flame (Qi energy) is fading from the universe. The undead are branded with a dark hole in the middle of their foreheads, which inevitably drains away their Qi until they go mad and become nothing but husks. And of course, accumulating tons of Qi makes you a Saiyan-magi.

Actually pretty accurate, though I'm not sure what the curse of the darksign is supposed to represent... And I believe the human age is one of a mixture of Light/Dark, as both qualities are present in humans - being undead is a 'condition'.
>>
>>18522448
Superman it's not inmortal, not like Vandal Savage is, he's just harder to kill.

>>18522874
Necromancy it's a kind of inmortality.
>>
>>18511576
Jesus Christ.
>>
>>18522882
Can you elaborate on Necromancy and it's relationship to Dark Souls? I'm guessing the Darkwraith-concept applies, where you drain other people of their humanity to prolong your own life/energy sources? But that seems like building a glass house...
>>
>>18515128
You just perfectly described the Necrons in WH40K.
>>
You have to find a way to slow down the ways your cells divide and grow and die. I forget where I heard it but theres meds that already do this only elites use.
>>
>>18511919
Another instance of the physical conditions that allow your mind to be would produce you. That you dont share the same subjective experience just speaks of you not having a channel to communicate perceptions and the relevant processes.
