To the Hawkins debate... Michio Kaku was just on Daily Show with John Stewart, and says "If you look at his glasses, near the top right corner, there is a chip which picks up radio waves from his mind, and transfers it to a laptop so he can type mentally."
Apparently most who have this ability have the chip on the top of their head, and it's about the size of a dime. |

I'm not saying it won't be possible in the future, maybe even very near future. But should we? It sounds like mad scientist shit to me.

I think that it's our best shot at expanding out from Earth. There's no need to find a way around the faster than light travel issue when you can load a ship with "bots" that are carrying the consciousnesses of experienced people that can be turned on (or awoken) a predetermined date. It also simplifies the actual ship, no life support.

Sounds like it's all rainbows and unicorns. Nothing could possibly go terribly wrong downloading and uploading our brains.

I did like how he mentioned uploading knowledge. 5 minutes later you're a math whiz. |
