Thomas Weber:
I am going to volunteer my life.
I am 43 and have been around MURG since 2000.
In the past few years I have had a health problem
which is getting worse despite a surgery that I had
last spring. Considering the rate of deterioration I
suspect I may have one to two years left. Just long
enough to arrange and conduct some experiments.
I am writing this not to ask for anyone's compassion,
but to express my sincere desire to offer my life to
the science of mind uploading.
As the idea of participation in the Prize-X program is
being discussed it is important to realize that
whatever the objective is - an "astronaut" will be
needed. Well - You have one!
In my past postings I had expressed an idea of
selective mind uploading which essentially means that
I believe in letting go of the most of our minds, but
protecting and uploading those parts which we consider
worth continuation. For instance if we were uploading
Mozart it would be his music that we would be after.
Tonigt I take off for a long hectic road trip and will
not have access to the internet till Sunday. I will do
some serious thinking on the way and when back I will
respond to any questions which may arise.
Kind Regards,
Thomas Weber
