This is not only unfair, but misses an important point: Myers works with preserving brains every day. He would love it if brains could be preserved. When he explains in detail why they can’t, he’s not doing with triumphalism at being more sceptical than singularitarians, he’s doing it with annoyance that we can’t do this thing he’d really, really love to be able to do.
It looks as he is just another smart guy who is no wiser outside the laboratory.
edit: I am wrong and withdraw this comment.
Downvoted for being a content-free status move (against someone who’s disagreeing with local dogma, but not saying things that are that silly).

You are right, I am in error.
Well, or maybe not.
