It is some time in the future and I am sitting at a quantum computer
and endeavouring to upload my mind, well, ‘mind; is the wrong word
as are those other linguistic classification, 'mind, spirit, soul, essence' et al for it brooks no argument that all
we have is consciousness.
But does my consciousness have an architecture, I mean
But does my consciousness have an architecture, I mean
is it just like a building with foundations,
doors, exits, entrances, walls, ceilings or is it irredeemably ad hoc?
Well I am Irish I feed that in, and the super
computer aeons now beyond the power of the human brain starts
computing...Irish, culture
Gaelic language, traits; now I type in
DNA, now genes, now height weight, shoe size...now current political, economic,
social influences....the computer at untold speed pixels out its computations.
So there is an architecture to my
consciousness; how, what and when I think, my output, my thoughts are the
result of a myriad of influences, which this super computer can ‘programme’. My consciousness is determined
I look at the screen, so that is me, another
me on the screen.
I download the information to my children’s
computers and (in some not too distant future time) that may be your legacy to children
