Immortality Based on Assisted Random Processes
More actions
It appears that the consciousnesses that you and the rest of the people on earth experience were created by the random processes that occur by matter in the universe (evolution and other processes). Conscious beings that exist now can influence the consciousnesses that are produced in the future. They may either directly create specific awarepaths by creating specific physapaths or influence the general creation process as they do now.
The brain is extremely complex thus determining the structure and functioning of a particular brain is a difficult tak. What is even more difficult is creating a duplicate of this one brain. What is much easier is the directed but random creation of many different brains in hope of creating some with the desired ixperiencitness. The universe has many stars that will exist for billions of years or more that can supply vast quantities of energy. Then there is a universe full of matter around stars in the form of planets, moons, asteroids, comets etc. that can be used to construct conscious beings that can exist around these stars. We know how to produce conscious beings because we replicate ourselves in our children that are conscious all of the time. Around most stars there are few perfect places for humans to exist as human bodies. Where there are planets that can support life they likely already have some form of life on them. We can make a decision to disrupt the life developing on these special planets or we can create devices that produce awarepath in other more efficient ways.
One such way may be to produce groupings of brains that have many different structures but no bodies because they would not be needed. The brains produce consciousnesses and can be stimulated in any imaginable ways by computer like devices that can create any desired reality or life like situations. The consciousness produced would think that they were connected to reality with bodies. What you are and experience right now might be produced this way. If such mass production of consciousnesses or awarepaths is eventually possible it becomes likely that what you are now experiencing is produced in such a way. It is a matter of percentages. If a billion times more consciousnesses are produced in itofazpaducers as compared to ones that are directly connected to reality with human bodies then it is a billion times more likely that what you are expereincing now is itofazpaducer created. Why would we ever want to do this in the first place? There are many possible reasons. Awaretheory predicts that there are many ways to create consciousnesses or awarepaths. There are also an enumerable amount of different possible awarepaths. Very few of they can actually be connected to reality because there are so relatively few places that they can exist in the universe. So if only awarepaths are allowed to exist that are directly connected to reality which ones do we choose? Right now we do not choose. The awarepaths that are created now are randomly created by nature. Many are of poor quality meaning that there is a lot of suffering and unpleasantness involved. Through scientific advancements we may have made some awarepaths better overall.
