Will we ever be able to upload our minds into a computer and live inside Skyrim forever?
Will we ever be able to upload our minds into a computer and live inside Skyrim forever?
that sounds horrible
skyrim is shit lmao
Or any game of your preference
i'd rather live in oblivion.
Lmao you cannot "upload" your mind, that will be just a copy. The real you won't be able to experience what's your digital AI controlled copy would. And it will go retarded without soul as well.

>Implying there's any evidence of a soul
Our physical body would die and we'd live as the digital copy
>Will we ever be able to upload our minds into a computer and live inside Skyrim forever?
No, because
1. Nothing last forever, not even time itself
2. Uploading your mind will just create a clone of you it won't really be you.
Consider the following: one you upload your mind, its digital data right? That means you can copy it. That means you can make two copies, send them to both sides of the galaxy and give them no way to communicate - so how can they both still be "you"? Unless there's a mysterious unknown "soul" or "conscious " material we haven't discovered yet, the logical conclusion is that your conscious linked to the physical matter that compose your brain. But who knows maybe we do have a soul, I'd like to believe that desu
>will we be able to put our mind in a jar where it will decay reallly really really slow and connect machine to all of our senses emulating virtual reality perfectly and by skewing the perception of time living for effectively billions of years
Maybe. Why skyrim though?
But it's so comfy
>get into a car crash
>feel how you’re bleeding from everywhere, feel the darkness coming over you...
>hear horse hooves clopping on the ground
>light fills your vision
>notice that you’re on a horse cart with 3 other guys
>“Hey, you. You’re finally awake. You were trying to cross the border, right?”
>so how can they both still be "you"?
The same way the "you" from different parallel universes don't know of each other except you'd be in the same universe as your other one.
>Why skyrim though?
It's the perfect game
>The same way the "you" from different parallel universes don't know of each other except you'd be in the same universe as your other one.
Cool, but you don't feel or experience the parallel (you)s, so they are basically clones and again, what's the point in that? You'll just die and a copy of you will live on, good for him I guess.
It's still you tho, only from a different state (in this case digital)
Your brain, memories, everything would be turned into bits and wired directly onto a machine so there's no difference between your physical body and your digital body
A better question would be what defines being you?
Ah yes, let's go back to a smelly medieval shithole we left behind in real world for a reason.
But this time with dragons and magic
The experience. Unless I'm experiencing it I couldn't give a rat's ass about what happens with it (let's put aside reputation and remaining family members etc) that's why I think uploading your mind is worthless. It won't make your life longer. It will create a new entity that will live in your place. And you won't feel or experience any of it.
It's the same with Star Trek teleportation: one you'd die and you'd create a new you somewhere else.
Your physical body would die and your digital body would become your new you
And that's why I won't go to any teleportation device lol
To summarize, no matter how you put it, you will cease to exist. For your own personal experience you will close your eyes, lose all senses, and be no more. And that's the bottom line. I understand why people try to convince themselves they could live in a computer forever, death is a scary concept. But believing you could clone yourself digitally and live forever is just fooling yourself. If it helps you cope though be my guest :)
>we
Your conscience is in your brain/body and you die with it. Whatever stays ain't you.
Why tho
Same with death, but this one you'd get to exist in a different place
I hope not. The only few games that offer a world which would grant more quality of life for me would be:
>Pokémon
Wouldn't be lonely anymore since I'd have Pokémon to keep me company.
>Runescape
Mad comfy, and anyone can become powerful
>Team Fortress 2
It's like that viking afterworld where you fight until you die, then you reappear and fight again.
Except you literally won't. Someone else wearing your skin will get to live there.

What about Minecraft?
It'd be very lonely, even if you found a village. I'd just kill myself. Not to mention constant fear of monsters at night.
