Ray Kurzweil and Uploading: Just Say No!
Journal of Evolution and Technology 22 (1):23-36 (2011)
Abstract
There is a debate about the possibility of mind-uploading – a process that purportedly transfers human minds and therefore human identities into computers. This paper bypasses the debate about the metaphysics of mind-uploading to address the rationality of submitting yourself to it. I argue that an ineliminable risk that mind-uploading will fail makes it prudentially irrational for humans to undergo itAuthor's Profile
