re: How do y’all feel about digital immortality?

If your body/organs perished early than expected here on earth, there’s plenty that would still want to see what their grandchildren end up looking like.

Maybe your first born grandson ends up being a stud pitcher in baseball, you’d want to track his progress to the pros.

You could still watch games, “attend birthday parties, be there for Christmas, see who wins the next election, etc etc

What I'm saying is, what’s happening during the time you’re sitting on some hard drive waiting for your transfer to a physical avatar, and what if that takes decades, or centuries?

You’re not going to experience any of those wonderful things…but what if you’re still aware and experiencing the passage of time like you always have inside this little hard drive. Except, you don’t have a body that can see or feel. You’d just be “kind of there”, right? Basically sitting in a dark room and not feeling anything.
