First thought was "No, it would be too hard emotionally - losing all those close to me while I lived on". But then I remembered that robots do not have emotions (at least for now) - so I'd go for it. Besides, the world would want to preserve all of this inane knowledge I carry around. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madelaine McMasters Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 2 hours ago, Rhonda Huntress said: If you could put your brain in a robot and live indefinitely, would you? Yes, I would. But there are a lot of presumptions in that yes. I presume I'd be about as much me as I am now, giving nothing up in the process, except mortality. I presume that this opportunity would be widely available to others, so I've got company. And I presume that I'd continue to learn throughout my endless life. If I'd go on endlessly as only a shadow of the current me, if it would rob others of opportunity and set me apart from the rest of humanity, or if I'd reach some saturation point, beyond which I don't improve, then no thank you, I'll go to my grave having done my best, making room for the generations to come. And, because it's truly difficult to grasp how immortality would affect my thinking, my outlook, my morality, I'd advise anyone offering me that opportunity to have their head examined.

So far in just 2 hours the guys laying tile in the bathrooms have broken a decoration in the hall, asked me for my broom and dust pan (not for the decoration, I had to clean that up myself) and sent *me* the hardware store *twice*! I told them any more and I better be on the payroll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maureen Boccaccio Posted April 13, 2017 Author Share Posted April 13, 2017 (edited) So, remember when we used to gather at the Hangout every Friday evening? No hired DJ or band...we just danced to whatever was on the juke box. There was a while when we used to "dress" for the gathering. Is that something which would interest people nowadays? (Probably not this Friday for some folks, since it's Good Friday, but...)
