This isn’t an idea so terrible in my opinion to justify such a high downvoting percentage, but perhaps you could improve the presentation.
I think the idea would be more plausible if it was tied to some compelling rationale—what is the motivation for posthumans to expand computation on human dreams? That computation has opportunity cost in other experiences and lives that could be lived.
Yeah. I think the down-voting results less from being inapropriate or off-topic but rather from being a ver unusual mixture. I think it has a too high inferential gap to ‘normal’ posts. One is directly thrown in and that can cause refusal.
I’m sorry for overly light-hearted presentation. It seemed suited for a presentation of a, to simplify greatly, form of fun.
Waker’s reality doesn’t really rely on dreams, but on waking in new realities and a form of paradoxical commitment to equally reality she lives in and a random reality she would wake up in.
It’s rationale is purely a step in exploring new experiences, a form of meta-art. As human and transhuman needs will have been fulfilled, posthumans would (and here at least I expect future me) search for entirely new ways of existing, new subjectivities. That is what I consider posthumanism, meddling with most basic imperatives of concious existence.
I see as just a one possibility to explore, something to let copies of myself experience. (those are not independent copies however, I imagine whole cluster of myselves interconnected and gathering understanding of each others perceived realities. Those living Waker’s lives would be less concerned with existence of other copies, but rather their experiences would be watched by higher level copies)
