Nobody
corrected this? Braincells aren't renewed. Some of the connective
tissue is, but not the naurons themselves.
Any form of
cyberization or computer-uploading or teleportation or cloning - it all
breaks continuity. Sure you'll replace parts of your brain/the entire
brain/your body/whatever with things that look just like what used to be
there, and for practical purposes nobody will notice the difference,
but it still won't be the original.
An entertaining philosophical
pondering, though? Too bad we probably won't see this stuff in our
lifetimes, it would be extremely interesting.
As for the actual
topic of the thread, the creepiest thing I could imagine would be
something like the Ghost in the Shell, where (overcoming the problems)
most of industrialized society has been cyberized and is permanently
attached to the web, with the current world order quickly spiraling out
of control as people try to come to terms with their new forms and all
bets are off as to how everything will sort itself out.
Other
creepy things are stuff like, aliens actually noticing us and coming to
visit earth, at which point we are basically at their mercy since any
civilization with the technology to do that would make us look like
retarded monkeys.
And funny things like a designed air-borne
virus (or whatever) that shows no sympthoms for the first year or so
then kills its host and all it has infected, doomsday devices like a
bomb that blows up and disperses radiation across the entire planet,
blah blah. the end of the world is scary man |
