We forget all the little things
Read something about brain dumping today. It is an interesting idea from those computer nerds, who suggest that human can live without a body when computers are powerful enough to download (or copy) exactly the same structure of our brain thinking pattern. A new formula for immortality - living in a computer, transfer soul from flesh and blood to machine body.
At first I thought this is sort of wack, but then... maybe it wasn't that bad. I'm not a person with good memory, nor a genius who could fully utilize the brain. If my strength is replaced by electricity, and my memory is stored in the hard disk, life would definitely so much easier.
Perhaps it would be even better if we could select the bad memory, chunk it in the trash bin and erase it, or edit it for a better memory. Of course, brain dumping is threatening, dumping your brain/ body away isn't something everyone wanna do! Isn't it ironic? People always say that appearance is not important but the heart. Indeed, this statement has already opened the beginning of a posthuman culture?
I wonder... what is the point of living as a flesh and blood?
P.S. Little Birdy's live last nite was super awesome, man I love them sooooo much.
