Nice post GB. I don't agree with it as it is my opinion we only get one kick at the can. However, it's an honest and GB original thought rather than some random quote or obtuse comment. Wish there was more of this from you.

Is there a computer that has the capacity to hold every thought a single human ever thunk? Every visual and auditory memory? Every smell, touch and taste?

Essentially, we're talking about the transference of the actual consciousness of an individual to a machine. Plug it into the internet and then what would we get? The antichrist? 😉
More like Marco Rubio but that's besides the point 🙂

I know it is petty, but thinly veiled attempts to lend legitimacy to a story through such pedantic displays serve nothing more than to take away from the point rather than add to it.
I echo your feelings on this one, indeed.

Moreover, I've always perceived the BBC as passive aggressive in its
phrase construction.

There is no God. Our will is our own.

Rather, there is a God, but our will is our own. 😉

And when we're born again we deny ourselves.

Really? You don't think they will attempt to upload the neuronet of a human brain to a computer? I'm calling it "neuronet" for lack of a better word.
It's known as a "neural net" but your word could catch on, for sure.

Never really thought of it this way, but I see your point.

I see it more not as self-denial, but self-liberating.

My wife complains she can't tell me what to do, but in the end she always gets her way. 😉
