yeah, sounds like we’re mostly on the same page, I’m just excessively optimistic about the possibilities of technology and how much more we could pass on than current education, I do agree that it is a sliver of passing on consciousness, but generally my view is we should be at least able to end forgetting completely, instead turning all forgetting into moving-knowledge-and-selfhood-to-cold-archive. personally I’d prefer for nearly ~all live computation to be ~biological, I want to become a fully general shapeshifter before I pass on my information. I’m pretty sure the tech will be there in the next 40 years, based on the beginnings that michael levin’s research is giving.
(but, also, I’m hoping to live for about 1k to 10k years as a new kind of hyper-efficient deep-space post-carbon “biology” I suspect is possible, so in that respect I am still probably pretty far from your viewpoint! I wanna live in a low gravity superstructure around pluto...)
