.. Bainbridge in his gloomy but bright lecture today in Transvisiono6
raised the issue of personality capture, in his own words: "record an
individual's personality and genetic code, send them to distant planet
and reconstitute the person there to begin a new life" and he
continues: conducting a research and practical work on personality
capture modules. a center for personality enhancement could flourish
giving a service to capture, archive and computer-emulate clients
and Bainbridge continue: "archive personalities, transfer them to
computers, robots, and information systems and I find that rather than
speculating or dwelling on developing philosophical ideas about it, I
rather be practical, start where the already social sciences ..know
how to measure aspects of personality and continue from there. I
really pride myself that I may be the first human being who ever
answered 100000 questions questioner as part of trying it on myself"
so far Bainbridge's words.
lately I have posted to WTA-talk an article named
"Info-resurrection" a way for your personal survival besides cryonic
preservation. it started a thread in WTA-talk and I thank the many
participants. See also http://groups.yahoo.com/group/inforesurrection/
I was much surprised to learn today in Transvision06 that the
prominent Dr Bainbridge is not only supporting identical method to
info-resurrection and personality capture, named "Self - Explore The
Final Frontier - Yourself" http://mysite.verizon.net/wsbainbridge/
see personality capture link there, but has gone a long way to
practically develop such a method of capturing and storing the
identity critical information for future reanimation. These days I am
working on revised and longer edition of this work, I want to stress
that in front of the existential risks awaiting in the next 20 years
or so, and being unable to tell if cryonic preservation will really
work, it may be a great mistake to overlook the opportunities to our
survival safely to the transhumanist future that a method like
Bainbridge's "Self - Explore The Final Frontier – Yourself" or the
much similar "info-resurrection" can truly hold.
I define info-resurrection as: capturing your critical identity
information, including your personal genotype {your DNA} thus for
future converging technologies to be able to reconstitute your
personality either as a clone of yours containing also your life
experience and self identity, or in purer information technology -
your conscious artificial personal intelligence, android robot of
yours, etc, to the effect of your survival. I know it still sounds
weird even to most of you innovative transhumanists, but today I have
learnt that at least two people are investing in that method as a
personal survival option, the first one is Bainbridge and hopefully
many more in the future.
All the best – David Ish Shalom
