Consciousness is not found in the brain.
Backing up the brain is like building a copy of your car to see how you used to drive. The driver is what is important, not the vehicle.

So, here we have a group just wanting to kill people.
Probably for organ harvesting.

Further, the chemical storage medium used by the brain is much denser storage medium than anything digital we use, so the "preservations" will be quite large, and prone to defects.

I'm interested in your theory that consciousness is not in the brain. I've researched the Orch-Or theory that posits consciousness fires from inside microtubules inside neurons, rather than between neurons. Are you indicating that consciousness is more universal?

If you learn meditation. You start to realize where your thoughts come from. You start to realize many thoughts come from you from outside yourself. It is very apparent that consciousness is not in the mind.

If you learn astral projection, it is even more apparent that your consciousness is with you, some place other than your body. As in, you are here. And, your body is not.

Further, you can get more spiritual, and get more in touch with the part of you that is not your body. Basically, you will find that you are a spiritual being having a physical experience, not a physical being having a spiritual experience.

To me, this is just statements of experience.


Now, on Orch-Or, they could kinda be correct. The brain is an antenna. It collects information from a lot of waveforms that are our actual world, and then displays to our aware mind the 3D world. That the brain is an antenna is well known, how it works needs much more study.

Yes! I agree with you.
This study freaks me the hell out. Can't people just be happy with where they are now?!

Baller! This is precisely the kind of tech news i’ve been expecting this year!

Things are about to get interesting.

Fascinating. We have no idea yet if it really works, but it sounds like their research will reveal a lot more about the brain in the years to come.
