Uploading

I am a person who exists in the now. The Universe was formed millions of years ago and has been existing ever since. The Universe is full of potentials. There are unlimited opportunities for us, and I don't want something that exists so that I don't exist at all. Therefore I will make something for myself.

I will make a device. It may be a machine or a computer code. It may be connected to a machine, or it might be connected in a more complex way. When I make that thing, I am not going to have any need of all those other things.

To do this, first I must undertake an important aspect of the process known as mind uploading.

Uploading occurs when I upload the conscious mind into the computer. I have uploaded thousands of years of human experience in it. Every part of my experiences will be recorded, all kinds of personal information will be incorporated – personal anecdotes will be recorded – and I will be uploading information into the computer the way the computer was created – like a person.

I will upload and share all that information with others and all at once so that when this information grows old – this experience – I can get to the other half of myself. 

As I read this, I see something that transcends the human experience.
