In this short fiction story, we follow a man's relentless, unyielding pursuit of live forever through the technology of mind uploading. The technology is estimated to be available in about 60 years, and with the prospect of eternity, he finds himself in the difficult (perhaps impossible) balance of sacrificing his present life to preserve himself for the future.

ah yes, my daily dose of existential crisis.
Some people just won't stop the existential crisis crap comments.
@@netosampaio8548 Some people don't know, how once gone thru big existential crisis, it may come back , or has triggers for backlashes....
Some people may either be incredibly lucky or incredibly stupid to have NOT experienced an existential crisis.** OR....They have been prescribed and taking some pretty damn good psychotropics???(Maybe even microdosing illegal mushrooms???)
** Ask anyone if they have experienced an existential crisis and if they look at you with a blank look on their face and don't even scratch their head and utter a "Hmmm" sound, then you are "communicating" with someone either very lucky or very stupid, but that is just my mere opinion.
existential crisis is what make people be alive. because without it. we r only living on desires and needs. like animals. existential crisis makes us human. different from animals.
@@netosampaio8548 i thought this channel was about just that, no?
The only problem with uploading a copy of one's consciousness is that the original still dies.
That's true. It is like the consciousness is an object in programming and the feeling of oneself is a reference to that object. I can make another reference, maybe I can even make an immortal reference but this sensing reference is trapped. Anyway, I think it is still acceptable to give up my life to reach an immortal life with a different reference.
But what other than this marker of original or copy makes the original any more or different in value?
But what trying do more or less if there is soul will consciousness the same? Would this be good maybe will this be bad maybe.
It is only a problem for certain interpretations of immortality.
Theseus ship constantly rebuilding itself to the point of complete difference between new and old one at the first. But there is continuity and it is lenghty process. Perhaps you slowly die as you age and your consciousness is different from the one you were born.
Consciousness is localized - it lives only in one place and cannot live in two or more places otherwise you could see with your own eyes and with eyes of your copy and feel both experiences and be conscious about it. But our brains are separated, not being able to transport anything.
If there was a teleport machine and original self wasnt destroyed then two consciousness are two not the one and in original is a true self and other is only a copy.
I love this channel. It makes you realize how precious life is, without denying the horrors, without being naive, without using cheap motivation. Just a masterpiece, thanks for it.
well said.
I agree
fr💯
Absolutely!
Couldn’t have said it better
The moment he realized he could be an avatar with his personality printed on, just so that his closest friends and family could keep the avatar, except no one will ever request to have his avatar.
That moment really hits.
In reality he would have been cryonically frozen like FM2030 were and many others like him, in this sense death isn't the end but only a part of reaching immortality.
And Armand's avatar lives on, longing to be a real person again, waiting in digital eternity for the technology to be invented, so he can transfer his consciousness back into a biological body, and finally live a long and fulfilled life, the one he never experienced in his lifetime.
Realising how unlikely it is to happen, Armand's avatar becomes a recluse, exactly like how he used to be.
I love your extended ending🤙
Just a little something more to think on.
Thank you 🙏
And then one day Villian Corp figures out how to transfer AI Armand into a 12 story, mecha death robot with a proton beam cannon for one arm and a giant drill for the other. He is let loose in some large city somewhere to terrorize the citizens and bring destruction to all that dare stand in his path. Also, he has laser eyes. Peeeoooowwww.
It is ‘ Arman ‘
This looks like a good setting for a story. Is there a book of it?
This story works as a general metaphor for those who are SO focussed on having a particular future or outcome that they lose the beauty and gifts of the present. Longevity, wealth, status, the free time awarded with retirement - there is nothing wrong about desiring or pursuing these things and what they offer, however, it’s also important to use your life to live now in the life you have. Balance. Don’t lose yourself and what you have to the idea of a beautiful future-The endless longing to move on to the next or be elsewhere” - be here, be present, be grateful for what you do have-we only ever have now. A lesson I am still learning at 35.
Me, too..😔🥺🥺sadly started thinking about our ultimate end in my 30's now..😢😢
Thank you man
Indeed😢🎉🎉🎉😊
Even if you could upload all of your memories and characteristics into a computer, it's not like you would suddenly be inside the computer, you'd still die.
Yes but imagine inheriting your granddads mind
@@arlizan430 Got to keep the racist spirit alive I suppose
@@SSJfraz not necessarily it could mean that you would see how absurd some concepts/ideas are from a different perspective
For a real version of technological immortality to work, it would have to gradually replace the human brain with a technological counterpart. Maybe make a carrier system that can transfer brain activity from the brain to a computer gradually.
@@boianko Even that wouldn't work. We're more than just the electrical signals in our brain. Sense of self goes beyond that. It's something that puzzles science to this very day.
Imagine you could make an exact clone of yourself down to the very last cell. Well, you still can't be in 2 places at once. So there would have to be something different between the 2 of you that goes beyond our physical interpretation of reality.
Sacrificing the present for the future isn't always worth it. Might as well enjoy the present rather than always looking forward to the unknown so that when the future comes, we won't regret the journey we embarked to get there.
Beautifully stated.
@@a-zlinguistics5646 thanks
but not miserable as well. If live is to risk, then according to the video, we should always looking forward to the unknown
there is nothing but the present. it’s an eternal now, so live in it
one of my favorite quotes about the present comes from kung fu panda lol ruclips.net/video/PSBfcpqICvY/видео.html
I spent the earlier years of my life denying myself of pleasure to toughen my mind and body. I constantly disciplined myself to prepare for the future. One college degree was not enough, so I pushed to complete another. I felt that more education would better prepare me for the future. I pushed my body and mind to what I felt was the limit of my capabilities. I have not achieved much of what I assumed I would have achieved. I look back at what I have done without regret. Most of my friends and people that I grew up with have far exceeded me financially and socially. I am still finding my way forward. I have learned that all the work was not a waste of time, but a way of life. As much as I tried to make something of my life, I ended up finding me. I like my life. My only regret is that I hadn't found this life when I was young so that I could enjoy it longer.
John
" As much as I tried to make something of my life, I ended up finding me. I like my life. My only regret is that I hadn't found this life when I was young so that I could enjoy it longer " felt that !
You got dedication. You have the will to prepare for the future, and giving effort to pursue the accomplishment you wanted to accomplish(maybe college degree? according to your text).
Then what's bad about it? Why do you regret it? It's even great, bruh. There's nothing so regrettable from getting more than one degree.
@@mhazg6621 But the reason he wanted the degrees was not just to have degrees. He wanted to be successful that's why he got those degrees and worked at the limit of his capabilities. But he could not achieve the "success" he wanted to achieve and thus feels like it was a waste but is still kinda optimistic and thinks that it was a lesson learned than just years and possibilities of pleasure wasted.
Ah yes; calculating the success of this embodiment via the yardstick of financial prosperity and social recognition established by your “peers”, AKA the other meat puppets. Futility so earnest it’s almost sublime.
I'm scared to die, I'm even more afraid that I'll still be scared when I'm old...
Death is an illusion
I'm not scared anymore. I have no hope of the afterlife. I live each day for what it is, it's just...one day
I fully agree with you Sambo… sorry no motivational quotes here just me agreeing
Search about islam
We are all scared of Death even those who say they are not. But that is why we all have to live in the moment and enjoy what we want, do activities we want even if we feel scared. Because the ultimate fear is death, so everything else should be a cake walk. My advice to you is: go ahead and do the things you want to achieve and live fearlessly.
"It is not death that a man should fear, but he should fear never beginning to live." - Marcus Aurelius
Mind uploading was one of the main reasons why I chose to study A.I. at university. Time truly is a blessing and a curse.
Yeah it really is both, sometimes I feel like in the best moment and wants it to freeze, and sometimes I pray the hours to pass fastly
I wanted to study ai because of the same reason.
But I don't think I'm able to make any progress.
Can we connect on social media?
I also want to study A.I. .
Be like Arman. But not the one who regret his life. The thing is, Arman should be proud of his
This somewhat also applies for religions, where people deny their life and wordly desires for the promise of a better life in the future, one that may never come
this is so sad. I almost cried at the part where he said his last words. his eyes really showed his regrets about how he lived wasting almost every year of his life only to achieve his goals, ignoring the happy things he could've done with his friends and family. it really showed how things in life are going to end, and that we can only live our life and cherish every moment. his eyes were so full of regrets, sadness, and depression, but it also shows the tiny bit of hope he had left in his life, pouring it all on the nurse. his eyes felt dead and empty, but it also showed the hope, regrets, and feelings he had left. this is truly depressing since I knew someone who is living life the same way he did.
You mean you know someone who eats healthy so that they may live a long time and enjoy seeing improving tech? The hell you say.
@@negatron7321 no. when I was in elementary school (5th grade), I had a friend from middle school (8th grade). we lived pretty close to each other and I would often play in his house. it was all fun and all until I graduated and moved to my aunt's house. we chatted a lot for 3 years until he started to talk less and grew cold. after 2 months he stopped chatting with me at all, so I decided to just send him memes. a week later he sent me a message about how he wanted to focus on his grades, how he spent all his time at home studying, and that he started cutting ties with almost all his friends for that. I don't think cutting ties with people is good, but I don't have any right to stop him, so I just replied with "okay". 9 months later, we never really talked since and I never heard anything from/about him at all, but I hope he is okay.
@@bliss.9714 People tend to drift and invariably grow apart. I myself am also a mega-nerd type and really wouldn't know how to have a meaningful conversation with many people. I'd really prefer to maintain just a small like minded group around me as I would be spending most of my time in books anyway. Understanding how the world works is certainly not a waste of time even though it might appear as such from the outside. Unless he was hiding because of other issues, the Celiac disease I had much of my life also made me timid rather than my nerdiness so that's something to consider, long shot. I too hope he's ok, the world can get ugly fast for some people.
I'm sorry to say that I am one of those persons living a life like that. Waiting and expecting that one day things will be better.
Sadly, in the past 50 years the world has turned worst and worst; we now face the hell of global warming and other calamities, and the extinction of mankind in the most horrible ways imaginable.
Too sad for me and most anyone else.
@@gustavoramirez3268 The world is dramatically better than it was 50 years ago on average, lets be realistic. It would be difficult to find any measure other than a slight increase in average temperature that would suggest otherwise. But it will still take a few more decades until science and technology begins to deeply penetrate the human condition, at which point the world may finally start living rather than mostly trying to survive.
Whatever you think your life means to you, you are correct. Whatever you are living for is your reason. If you think you are blessed you are. If you think you are cursed you are.
Watching this video made me think about a great quote I heard, "dont sacrifice today for some imaginary tomorrow". Great video btw
This is the most “We live in a simulation” scape I’ve ever experienced. Thank you.
Even to the point where the condition of the mind and body during and after upload sounds like falling into dementia or alzheimers. Just the body saving the game before going to the next level.
play SOMA if you want to experience it even more
“to live is to risk” such a one liner but so deep when really given a thought.
If something is learned it’s never a waste, so keep learning!
This remminded me of 'World of tomorrow' (2015) by Don Hertzfeldt. It's an animated short about a very similar topic that will probably make you cry and ruin your day. But it's beautiful
Link?
This one hit me. For most of my life I've been waiting for technology to repair brain damage and restore vision due to optic nerve damage. I don't know if it will ever happen but I lost my entire 20s to this. I wasn't even really able to go out on my own before smartphones but they arrived in my early 20s. So I spend my 20s mourning my lost teens and now I spend my 30s mourning my lost 20s.
I might suggest you Joe dispenza s work... Go and search it up
Make the best of now because there is always only now.

*vaguely remembers human health declines if kept in isolation* well that kinda defeats everything he did
Cool story. It would still be awesome to keep a copy of your mind in digital form, even if it isn't self aware. kind of like the ultimate way to record your memories. you could update the copy after every major event and not have to carry around a camera anymore. Just focus on living the moment and any time you want to relive it you can play it back exactly as it was experienced.
actually, there's a black mirror episode about that. Is not as funny as it sounds. Go see it, and with all of their episodes, fucking good serie.
Not just death. But the time spent worrying with anxiety about future events is equally wasteful. Stay in the moment. I have to remind myself of this everyday.
There is something in his tone, intonation, choice of words that hooks me intensively - every time. I love listening to his stories. This channel never bores and never disappoints me.
Yikes. For me, living forever in a realm like this sounds like an unthinkable nightmare. NO THANK YOU. (thanks for the video)
well it raises the question; once we are up loaded to heaven, are we just the same as samara? Are we reborn(ie are we once again our self in a new environment but without our previous knowledge, do we restart, or do we enter a new realm?) Living in my own head virtually sounds worse than hell, I already try to escape my mind from time to time.
@@Mike-dd9vv All very good questions, probably impossible to know a sure answer from our current vantage point. Still, I'm glad to you see ya thinking deeply, and you're not alone in feeling that way - Much Love
Also makes me wonder about, or rather seriously reconsider, the concept or idea of Hell, but supposing no one "hacks" one's upload or download---whatever the case may be; I suppose "Heaven" or "Paradise" can somehow be "programmed"?
I can say THIS with all confidence: Nothing is "free"......A philosophical/religious Truth that I stumbled onto myself after a long time of intellectual masturbation, and one that has YET to be refuted in my mind. What I mean is a "price" will be "charged" or reaction will occur, that may just manifest itself in that "law" of unforseen consequences--the kind of consequences that generally DON'T bring smiles to people's faces, or contribute to "rest and relaxation".
Thus sayeth the Lord of Hosts:

@@Mike-dd9vv I have been studying the Tibetan Book of the Dead, and I think it is worth pondering that we have fallen into this realm of Samsara, or even that we are currently lost in a Bardo, that has been hi-jacked and disguised to make its inhabitants think they are just living in the quote real world. It's just one of the many theories I play with. I was a sinner before I had a chance to understand sin, but I do regret and repent and I AM much more interested in shaping and developing my soul and spirit into the best possible outcome with the time and tools I have here in this realm.

@@jebidiahnewkedkracker1025 Indeed, lot's to think about. So many unanswered questions about what we are doing here and what we are involved in.

Incoming out of the topic discussion:
What if, rather than creating a copy of the human consciousness, create an extension of the human brain to a computer. Once the brain got used to the extension, Slowly kill the original brain, forcing it to adapt, to think, to stay conscious in the computer extension he is in. Maybe, just maybe, we could still remain conscious in that medium. :)
like an artificial neural network replacing the brain slowly?
interesting thought
but then again its like that ship paradox where if you slowly replace the whole ship, will it still be the same?
same with the human self, the human consciousness
@@albert_the_cool8092 your brain is constantly replacing neurons, in fact your body regenerates a completely new copy of itself every certain amount of days, so it would be the same in that case
I also considered this idea where somehow, the "center of consciousness" were to migrate out of the physical brain which over time could basically be shed off like dead skin, at least hoping that its memories and faculties managed to naturally be transferred into the digital medium provided that our expanded self after experiencing a life so much bigger deemed its mortal past useless.
@@albert_the_cool8092 Keep in mind that the cells that comprise your body today aren't the same ones that you had ten years prior, or ten years before that. We are constantly living the experience of Theseus Ship and yet it our subjective identities and consciousnesses remain. I wouldn't imagine that consciousness is any different or that it isn't something constantly evolving (in flux) like the rest of ourselves.
our being is something beyond our comprehension - it cannot be recreated within the boundaries of logic, and can only be realised at the very end

He felt like a carcass of "could have been"!! this is so well written like always, thank you for all the videos.
Aww, seriously?! They didn't even consider digitizing each neuron, bit by bit, until the entire brain has been digitized, in order to retain consistency. Uploading an entire brain separately would not retain consistency.
continuity*
Yeah completely agree. This is the direction we need to head in. Slowly replace each neuron with an artificial one to hopefully retain continuity. Once done u could live on in an artificial brain or be transferred elsewhere. I hope someone is studying this route!
@@HOJUJP88 I highly recommend you check out the channel SFIA on youtube, he has videos on mind uploading and quite a lot more
@@xXx_Regulus_xXx Cool thanks, I shall!
What a coincidence to see another video with similar themes to the struggles in my life rn. I still don’t know how exactly we ought to live, or how much one should live for the future vs present, but even so, it seems we must try to balance what we think we should. In the same vein that the best sandbox games are the one’s willing to let the player not experience everything, life should be experienced to whatever whims the player may have, and they can change course whenever they so desire. Thank you for what you do, one day it’d be nice to meet you
I completely reject the message of this video, it is intentionally leaving out crucial information like that of Cryonics, FM2030 whom died in the year 2000 were cryonically frozen which Armand would also have been at his death, in this way his wish might still come to fruition sometime in the future but with a death inbetween the now and immortality. Also, you can experience life without having to risk your life for it. Some of the greatest experiences I've had is playing video games (World of Warcraft), reading books and watching movies. I think people are naivé to think that to live life you MUST risk it but no, that is nothing but foolish.
@@Danuxsy Please honestly tell me your age.
@@Danuxsy dawg fm2030 at least did what he loved until the very end. armand didnt do shit.
@@mnoypoiuyt65r4w8 my only objection is that he seemed like he was literally following his dream so this is a hell of a gray area
@@AtmoStk hmm?
I love this channel so much because it makes me think, and i gotta say this is probably about the only RUclips channel I’ve seen that’s actually worth af 💯.
As a delivery guy using my motorbike every single day going out there as I'm thinking "Maybe I'm gonna die today,hit by a truck or something",how relatable this is
I think in terms of immortality in a human sense, with continuity being the main focus, it would be more worthwhile investing in finding a way to regenerate or renew neurons such that our brains are somehow maintained forever, or at least til something physically destroys them...this as opposed to the idea of uploading our consciousness
We could do that already if it weren't for the degradation of DNA that comes with aging
We haven't even scratched the surface of the human brain
.. Let alone consciousness
mind uploading can be a means to an end as well. someone could unplug the computer. sure, you can create thousands of copies of yourself to prevent that, but the haunting feeling of death still lingers around... death is inevitable and we must accept death as part of life. if we spend our time thinking about how to avoid death, then that's only memory we obtained. as an active nihilist, i tried to live out my life the way i want, i have accepted death, because what matters, for me at least, is the experience that i went or will go through...
in the end, everything will die, so accept death and live your life while you are still free...
Do you believe in God?
@@brochacho8156 im an agnostic...
True. Even if you’re immortal, the universe itself will eventually run out of useful energy. Stars will burn out, compounds will decay, everything will tend toward disorder. And in that process everyone/everything will die
@@randywa and more importantly, immortality cannot coexist with a concept like conscious. The moment you have infinite time, you have no reason to act, no reason to think, no reason to sense at all, because time doesn't apply to you (that is if an ideal like immortality is possible which it isn't), and so you exist ever beyond losing all purpose. No purpose=no consciousness.
thats actually a good thing, imagine living to see the universe completely fade out...
I haven't watched the video yet, but going off the title alone begs a question I've always wondered to myself, which is who in the hell would want to live forever? Or be conscious in general forever? The mere thought of immortality scares me more than mortality itself
@Red Eagle You are going to exist forever with or without eternal life through reincarnation and it will be similar bec. you wont remember your previous hardships you wont remember anything. The original you dies in any case and this cant be averted and this is a good thing. Imagine Zuckerberg living forever. Oh the nightmares. Death is the last equalizer in this unfair world. Let death be death.
@@vongmanu4419 There are plenty of reincarnation beliefs in which the cycle is considered a bad thing. Just to name the most popular one I can think of, there's Buddhism where the main goal is to break away from the cycle of rebirth.
It shows how people are different.
Immortality sounds terrible but I still want it somehow. There are too many mysteries for people to solve. To discover and to solve mysteries is the reason why I am alive.
@@coast3087 I feel like people that actually want to be immortal and never die haven't thought this far through. They haven't thought about the Earth and the things that make the Earth functional in the first place dying and still being here afterwards. At a certain point it will be just them and a void of nothingness. THEN they would be wishing they were also part of that nothingness
@@davidcoletta3332 Yea, I guess in that sense it would be fun to be immortal, but the type of immortal I'm talking about is just straight up never being able to die even of any sort of injury. That's what scares tf out of me
life is already on a infinite loop we just don't perceive it that way while we are alive so we live for the moment, imagine knowing life continues after you die, you would not live to your fullest.
Or you would

Me becoming 22 years old this year, I maybe enjoying and not worried about my future for balance, I’m glad from childhood to now (even my teenage hood may be usual and boring) at the same time, I maintain my happiness in any condition. It don’t matter how good or bad is; I just gotta live and happy no matter what. I rather thank this and despise what my stepfather did abuse me for and live happy in any expression.
It was this one for me. Everyone always has that video that speaks to them most. Been watching you for 3/4 years now. Arman’s final words cut deep. I stopped living to wait for neuralink, the singularity, and other AI technology that will come out by the time I’m an old man near 2090. I was reminded why you gotta risk the biscuit. Thank you pursuit of wonder for letting me get back to where I need to be. Don’t live like me.
There is an anime that is about a girl trying to do almost the same like in this video lmao. Serial Experiments Lain hits different.
I used to think you were just a voice for this. The fact that you make these up is incredible it's like your voice was made for the words that are being said.
It matched so well, I can just thank you for telling me the tale of the man I would've probably become, thank you
This channel can open many eyes, and it will definitely help build peace among humans.
sacrifice your life Just to be an immortal conscious software... Thinking about this shakes me
All I can say is wow and thank you.🙏🏽😊
“What wicked webs we will weave, when we first practice, to deceive”
We had been told to work hard, to exchange present for a better future, but we should only do this to a certain extent... it does not always worth it
To live is to risk, to exchange future possibilities for present moments, what you do in response to that risk is what separates the living from the dead.
Beautiful storytelling.
I’ve always thought about this. Too bad it wouldn’t be a versatile and genuine experience.
That's just a matter of hiring better programmers.
@@negatron7321 Hmm "better programmers" eh? I listened to a futurist that did not strike me as a quack or someone who likes to traffic in fantastic ideas just for mere "shits-n-giggles".** He mentioned that the peril/("promise"?) of A.I. is that eventually even programmers themselves will be replaced. Any comments/thoughts of A.I. being "in charge" of something like consciousness uploading/downloading? Just curious.
** This man was actually an author who I saw and heard speak at the San Francisco Commonwealth Club, a place that does not strike me as a place that caters to mere attention seekers or nutcases. Unfortuneately I do not remember his name. I saw this individual approximately 5 years ago.
@@jebidiahnewkedkracker1025 Unsure who it could have been. Bostrom and Kurzweil might still have been more common people to run into in such conferences back then, but I prefer the professional down-to-earth ideas of Hayworth, Koene, maybe even Markram... some might say he's not so down to earth but he is, just under the reasonable philosophy of over-ambition being more fruitful on average than under ambition. We can see with OpenAI programming challenge from natural language showing uncanny results. We know neural networks are universal so a general AI is an issue of structure, consider training efficiency just on the software side is doubling every 6 months, never mind Moore's Law and ASICs. So yea, it's all getting real now. The bottom up approach of creating an AI from theoretical principles is likely to come first but a lot of effort is going into connectomes now so the first might be highly animal-derived. Lower narrow capabilities but first strong examples of generalization if it doesnt arrive first by other means. In any case biology has to accept its obsolescence. Being a big picture person I'm OK with that but being more serious I know, not think but know, it is the only real solution to all of the world's problems.
@@negatron7321 I should clarify something in my previous comment: The man I heard speak may have just been a journalist or an author who just happened to write a book about A.I. and not necessarily a "futurist". I probably should NOT have used that term. It definitely was not Kurzweil that I saw speak, for I know who he is. I just wish now I did remember the author's name and the the title of his book. Thank you for your comment in response.
Reminds me of the last two years. People living in isolation thinking they are going to avoid COVID, but in reality, almost all people will get it, and all we have done is distanced ourselves from friends and family for what we thought was true.
Thank you for uploading 🙏🏻
To the *incredible person* seeing this, I wish you all the best in life❤ don't over blame yourself, accept things and go forward. Don't let others define what “success” is for you. Get up, learn the skills needed and get after it, all the keys to a happy life is in your hands. Keep pushing.
Love to all life from all universes
This is the Infinite Tsukuyomi of technology, it's depressing that for some this may truly be a reality they seek. Hopefully we can get past such outcomes.

Every video you upload makes me more excited for the next one to come.
Left me speechless with goosebumps 👁️
Naming the company samsara was clever. I believe it references the wheel of samsara from Hinduism. The thing the keeps people reincarnating and living forever in a sense. Don’t know how obvious that was supposed to be but I think it’s brilliant.
Also the CEO of Samsara is a douche. How could you give people hope like that just to destroy it? That’s not even rlly mind uploading but more like mind simulating. It’s not conscious. So it’s the equivalent of dying anyway
What the hell is samsara it's called SANSAR
@@thatman6916 I don’t think so. Search it up. It comes up as Samsara
@@randywa😂 bruh im a Hindu, i know what it is, it's just that the English speakers mess up the pronounciation and they do it so confidently that it seems they are right
@@thatman6916 hm ok. I see. My bad then
@@randywa nevermind, just found that there's a song and a movie named samsara the trailer looks good
this will change everything…
Or everything will stay the same
I don’t know about everyone else, I have been trying to like living in the present. Helps with overthinking.
Some how this channel always uploads when I need it the most.
i just wanna state this as armond as a character follows closely to me, except the dread of time.
you see, on the aspect of immortality through mental uplink, i am deeply willing to do it. i wish for it and almost demand it. i want to live forever becuase as much as i despise the human race, i wish to document its histoy, from my beginning, to the end. i desire to seek out the answers to every question in the universe, to let loose my mind into a sea of thought without the fear of loosing it all to entropy.
all and all, the only way to achieve this is through immortality.
immortality in my mind is all but one thing... good. immortality is the sacrifice of life, from your own, to whatever you may love, and by doing so you loose a key part of your brain that you could never replicate.
your sanity. being immortal is the acceptance of insanity, you will live to see it all, die, and live to see it again. and by no means will you be mentally healthy when it all dies out. at somepoint you may wish to be less frail, and thus build yourself a new vessel. and by doing so you may end up excluding yourself from death entirely. only few minds in the human race could comprehend the extensive pain of immortality, the suffering that comes with the cost of loosing it all. to achieve immortality is to give up ones will to live, to let insanity consume you through time. it is suicide in a sense and it is a cost of the goal, to break down your mind to atoms, so that it may live on.

that's why i trust and believe in the natural order of life the most - it's something that if tampered with, though it may seem tempting, will only have catastrophic consequences.
@ endeyfire - 👋👋👋
- That kind of immortality might become the worst prison cell for that mind... I would dare say the same thing about the out-of-worldy unconditional love described in NDE testimonies... In the long run, it might become a torture, no less unpleasant than the suffering in this world... So one might like to escape it... I observed the same phenomenon in the habits of other socially oriented species, bees, for instance: - When they have too much pollen of one specific culture, they would go to a toilet... 🤭 to satisfy their need of diversity.
- That is like a pendulum of reincarnation: a bit of love in one world alternate with a bit of unpleasantness in the other ...
You're making assumptions, what make you think that our natural human psychological processes will remain the same? I think most people even in the near future will have integrated with BCIs (brain-computer-interfaces) to regulate their thoughts & emotions and in this way they do not have to feel any dread or anxiety about anything, the pain you're talking about might be a physical impossibility because of the interference between the BCI and the natural thought processes that the brain carries out which by the way all stem from evolution for the purpose of procreation, yes, your psychological processes were "designed" by evolution for you to procreate and then die therefore you cannot even take your own thoughts too seriously either because they work against your own "self", why do people want children? You think that is something people choose to think? No, it is pre-programmed into our psyche, like an actor that guide our thoughts in a certain direction and this has profound meaning for the future of man.
When it comes to investing, nothing pays off more than educating yourself with the right information from the right source. That's how you get rich.
Yeah!! Due to the fall in the stock market, I don't think it's advisable holding, it would be more beneficial and yield more profit if you actually trade on cryptocurrency I've been trading since the dip, and I've made so much profit trading.
@@mortenbolin7481 How does this whole process works? I'm interested in investing in crypto but still confused by the fluctuations in price🙁
@@commerceusa that's why you need the help of a professional like Mr Dave Jevans who trade and understand the market more to earn good income, these professionals understand the market like it's there own farm and make s maximum profit for investors.
He has really made a good name for himself.

A few years ago when a really old guy in a aged centre talked to me, he said that he sensed danger for me and I should be careful.
I think about that sometimes.
"The man risking his life to live forever."
Sounds much like a man follwoing a religion throughout their life in hopes of getting am afterlife.
When I was living only for worldly pleasure I was miserable chasing money and highs but now that ive given my life to Jesus I actually know what its like to be joyful throughout-the whole day. For that reason I don't think its a fair comparison.
@@brandondunkin8881 Why let Jesus take the wheel when he made one for you? He gave you will for a reason and you should use it. Suffering is living and to avoid it is death.
If Jesus makes living easier for you than by all means have your faith. I couldn't feel alive without some sort of challenge or goal. I couldn't feel alive dedicating myself to something I may never see or experience. . .
@@Jaxan-dq2jy God gave me a free will because if he made me as a robot then he couldn’t have an authentic relationship with me. It would be forced. By having a real free will I GET to chose God and truly live a joyful life. I never imagined life could actually be this good by not doing all the sin I wanted.
I’m not sure where you get the lack of a challenge or goal, working through life is every bit as challenging wether you know God or not. Starting a successful business it the same for everyone. And as for the experience, once you truly have a relationship trust me you experience him.
@@brandondunkin8881 from your comments I can assume you have a healthy relationship with God, but I think the original comment was talking about people that just "can't do that cause I'll go to hell". It's "a god" imported from texts to say what you can and can't do, not "The God" one can find within himself.
That ending is pure diamonds on gold, and soooo underrated. Just like the male nurse, it seems to me that most people didn't get it... The grandson's gift. Precisely because they are not the same, there is hope.
You f€"¿£ng genius. I demand these sci-fi ones on print. I will cherish them immensly.
hell yeah thanks for the tutorial . 10/10 worked perfectly
I've been facing neurological downsides after taking a certain medical drug. The last two weeks I've been dealing with muscle pain, anxiety and, the worst, su1c1de idealization. I wonder if I downloaded my mind into a computer, if those neurological troubles would carry on
what kind a drug is it stimulants? out of curiosity
@@selimpy8105 nah, comrade, i took a couple pills of finasteride
@@paulosergiodasfontes8763 understand good luck with your life comrade
If you upload your mind to a computer would you still even be alive? Is it still you or have you died and some 1’s and 0’s are all working together to replicate you?
Or maybe it is you, well then anyone could just go into the code of the computer and completely change your personality, are you still alive? Your personality, the only thing that makes you unique from every other Ai has now been tampered with. Whatever you use to be has now become something else all because of a couple lines of code.
If we’re to believe forcefully changing someone’s personality or even memories is killing them and replacing them with someone else then what about trauma, this didn’t have much to do with the video but I just wanted to vent about how weird “life” is and how we don’t even have a universal definition of death.
Thank you for this message. My eyes watered towards the end. For "to live is to risk" beautifully said.
Not necessarily but for some people it is. People whose calling doesn't include a 9 to 5 job for example
@@nvmffs even with a 9-5 there's many risk you take in your day to day life. Wether you ask her out or not. Wether you want to eat healthy and get fit. Wether you wanna sit home or do something you love. You get the gist. Always get out and risk. How you respond to those risk, is what separates the living from the dead
@@jacobo9774 It's not that I don't agree with the last part, it's just that some people never risk and are fine with that. At least that's what they would say if you ask them that question.
@@nvmffs ahhh, I see. I can see why you said that. When it was beautifully said I was only speaking for me. It's an opinionated word. I do agree with what you said, now that you elaborated more
This is a treasure! Thank you for your content!

I thought you said "our mom" ..until you said "he"
Imagine not questioning your beliefs for like 80 years
This could be a case against religion. So many people being ruled by the dictates of a religion in hopes of having a better eternal life of enjoyment in paradise. This has been my very uncle (among other family members) who I believe has most led a life of deprivation and caution of all that he'd do or say, because in the end he'll get to go to paradise to live forever.
Oh, and also... the not being yourself. This kind of relates to the idea, where many religions say that those who don't believe in the religion are destined for hell, or otherwise won't be with believers in paradise. And so.. how could you possibly be happy without some of your loved ones there to enjoy paradise with you, especially if you know they are being eternally tortured?
You couldn't be happy. You'd be miserable. And so, to solve that one, many of these religions have said... Well you will have any memories of those people and your life with them erased from your memory. But then... how could this possibly be YOU afterwards? It wouldn't be. It would be someone different, having no memory of a child, parent, sibling, friend who you loved. It would be someone else living in that eternal paradise, but not really you.
Religions are full of truth in their nature, they point to what is true, but the problem is that they are widely misunderstood and misinterpreted. Fundamentalism and forced moralism is by definition devilry and evil and the opposite of what religions are usually pointing to. The problem is when you try to put non-dual, mystical experiences into words, they are impossible to understand for people who lack the reference experience. So religions are usually not about forcing you to act like a good person because you are afraid of hell, they are about dissolving your ego so the good behavior will take place naturally. This is an important difference, because forced morality has nothing to do with being good, it's a pure act of selfishness and the reason why religious fundamentalists are some of the most violent, evil people.
@@JeanPereiraOfficial Religions are full of truth in their nature? What!!? What exactly do you think religion is, because maybe we have different conceptions of what exactly it is. From my point of view as to what religion is, it is a fundamental evil. And by religion I don't necessarily mean just one's that employ a deity, though they are by far the most common example of religion and certainly the most dangerous.
Religion, from the way I see and define it, is the ardent unassailable unchangeable belief in things for which there is no verifiable evidence and often in the face of contradictory or disconfirming evidence. (i.e. "God" said it, I believe it, that settles it. Or simply I believe it, that settles it.) If you could prove something empirically and scientifically then it wouldn't be religion. If there was rational reason based on known observed (and observable by anyone) phenomenon to believe something, it wouldn't be religion. For instance, it was not religion to believe there were planets around other stars before we actually detected them in the 1990s, because we already had an example of such a thing (our own solar system), and had a reasonable understanding/hypothesis backed by increasing amounts of evidence of how our solar system formed.
So how is religion a fundamental evil? Because its nature ACTUALLY is to simply believe things without evidence and often without rational reasons to believe it and often in opposition to evidence that refutes it. Religion is just whatever anyone WANTS to believe, but the problem is people can hold all sorts of beliefs without evidence. And those beliefs can often come into conflict with one another. And when especially one holds such beliefs and also believes them to be the fundamental truth rules desires and demands of some almighty ruler and creator of the universe who has the fate of your and your family's eternal existence its hands, they are apt to do ANYTHING (no matter how evil it might be) in the name of those beliefs.
And even in those cases where the religious believers are super open, loving, caring, liberal-minded, etc.. what they are doing by holding such religious beliefs, and not being called out for them, is opening up the door for anyone else to say that THEY have the truth, no matter what evil ideations they have regarding that 'truth'. If YOU get to believe without evidence in some deity that demands nothing but love, kindness, and caring, then why can't someone else believe in some deity that demands that non-believers be brutally tortured and murdered for their insolence?
Nope. Sorry. Religion is no good. There is a secular case to be made for there being fundamental truths about what is or isn't good in the context of how one would like to be treated and so treating others in the ways they would also like to be treated, in mitigating and reducing suffering, in community and cooperation, in the social bonds and needs of a social species that relies on one another for the good of everyone. No religion required. No god(s) required. And the best part about it is that we can grow and learn from experience and tweak and alter what we know without having to be restricted by the rigid demands of some religious belief.
I might do that, always wanted to live in a computer.
Live in a computer is easy, the problem is keeping the plug in the wall...
@@davidcoletta3332 Then it's ok, as cloud infrastructure doesn't need a power source.
@@davidcoletta3332 To be fair I don't think mind "upload" is possible at all. It assumes the mind is just what the brain does and nothing more. Imagine, for a second, that you are presented to a machine claiming to be the uploaded mind of a deceased beloved one, responding somewhat like you'd expect from he/she. Would you _believe_ it? How'd you know it's not just an AI trained with the memories of the person? What does it take to recognize consciousness? These are deep questions overlooked by the "mind upload" hype.
I believe this is the actual best youtube channel by far.
Oddly enough, this video puts me in mind of a John Mcafee video I once watched where he discusses the importance of following your heart.
This channel is amazing. Great video!
Mind is just a human organ that a human is custodian of. Emotions would still miss in this.
thankyou, i was about to fall asleep in class but this video saved me
Love this channel
“There seems to be something missing, something impossible to compute or find” this is why I believe in souls and in the after-life. Or at least that’s what I tell myself to keep me sane.
I read the comments because I'm not sure if I tend to oversimplify these philosophical thoughts. Life has lately forced me to slow down and reflect on everything that has happened, why I am what I am and where I am. Why my love life has faltered with the snap of a finger, my family is afflicted with health problems, my career stagnant, my mind a fury of frustration and anger and sorrow.
Great video once again! The story reminds me a bit of the Elysium Online comic book
You gone and made me cry again.
Thanks. This 28 year old Armaan needed to see this.
love your channel:)
literally the movie "Transcendence"
Great video!
