Suicide, uploading as a digital consciousness
@Ulfra_Wolfe consider: it's not suicide if you take the brain out of the meatsack and hook it into a computer

@Ulfra_Wolfe honestly you could probably just Ship of Theseus the brain until your consciousness was transferred to a circuit without the whole philosophy thing

@Irick @Ulfra_Wolfe for me it's less brain-sex and more "turn me into a computer so i can stop having a corporeal body"

That's the thing I've kinda accepted as probably not happening to me. I see too much influence of the endocrine system and too much we don't understand re: lower level effects. It's like high level emulation. You might get something that possibly resembles me, it might even be better, but it won't be me. It will be my brain child.
I'm okay that I was never meant to actually be the butterfly.

It depends on how well you buy into the argument that the seat of the self is the brain. I tend to favor a more wholelistic model of consciousness, so I've come to accept that the pipedream of immortality or even preservation of my unique pattern is a bit far out there.
That being said I'll still totally do it.
Brain-sex with a computer is on my bucket list.
