[MURG] Future of MURG

[Yan King Yin]

Hi

1. I think many of us here have overlooked the 'chemical'
/ molecular aspects of neuroscience for uploading.
The possible signaling pathways out of thousands of
molecular species (receptors, secondary messengers, etc)
are combinatorically explosive and we need a project
perhaps even harder than the human genome project
to completely elucidate those pathways.

One assumption that everyone here (including me) has
made is that there is no internal memories inside a
neuron. But this is probably false, and that chemical
information in neurons might be quite substantial. This
also includes gene activation states as Joe pointed out.

Unless we have a quantitative estimate of how much
'missing information' is out there, uploading will not be
a science and funding will be a problem.

2. I think we need to talk about the financing problem
seriously IF you guys are serious about uploading at
all. We need to figure out the financing problem right
now, not when we're half way into the project(s).
I've worked really hard on all these things and deserve
some credits as well =(

YKY
