Truthiness
You know, For a long time now, I've theorized about an afterlife, I've rationalized that since consciousness is a byproduct of energy than the idea of consciousness just ceasing to exist doesn't really make sense. It seems Michio Kakus take on immortality makes mu humble opinion look contemporary in comparison, In this Short Video, Kaku States, Sometimes, Some parents will say, They believe their Teenage children are brain-damaged because of the way they act, It's True asserts Kaku, A Teenagers Mind isn't fully developed yet, With technology, We can observe This we can quantify this, Michio goes on to say, We have learned so much about the ways the human brain functions through these observations That He believes someday, We will be able to upload our consciousness to Machines, We could have Breakfast in Tokyo, Dinner on the moon, or even in another galaxy, Kaku asserts, That this is the future that awaits us.

My thoughts:
To me, it all sounds great on paper but something about this bothers me.
So you upload your consciousness to a machine, They look at your brain and make this Consciousness of you in the machine, For all intents and purposes it's you, But how do they Transfer your consciousness to that machine? In short, they can't, Thay can't take what is you, away from your brain and put it somewhere else, you won't escape death, That thing in the machine is just a digital image of you, Nothing but an artificially intelligent MRI. A ghost or Shadow, even at it's best. No, We will still Age, We will still feel pain, We will still Die.
The Question becomes more Ethical, We Will Die, There is no escaping, We were not asked to be brought into existence, We will not be asked to leave it. The Question you should really be thinking about is, What does Death mean to you? Do you want a Machine Imagine clone of your consciousness living in a machine? Do You Risk the possibility if your own secrets not going to the grave with you? or worse, The possibility of your machine consciousness clone Not able to restrain it's own filters and presets, not able to articulate your knowledge, of yourself because of some glitch, Imagine this situation, you are long dead, Your Machine consciousness lives on, You meet some people at a bar, you hit it off with one of the ladies there, Small talk time, She tells you what kind of guys she like, and because of a glitch, Your AI consciousness remembers as a kid you liked Zoo animals, So you respond, I like Goats.
Sure, It's a weird example,
But before people consider something like uploading their mind, They should Question, What could go wrong, Or, As a program on your machine, What kind of rights would I have? will I be considered the property of someone or some corporation? How would I be Treated? How Would I be punished? If I broke a law? One needs to ponder these kinds of Questions Because they will be important to know within our lifetimes.
So, In your lifetime, you will have the option, full knowing that who and what you are will still pass on, Will you Upload your consciousness? So some version of you can live on? I don't think I would. I'm not a perfect person, There are things about me that frankly, I want to die with me...
