“However, in essence, we have been backing up our minds ever since the first cavemen cut notches in sticks as a memory aid. Cave paintings were the human mind rendered in vegetable dyes, cuneiform expressed it in clay, and books are even closer representations of the thought processes of those who wrote them. But, of course, none of these is an exact copy of a human mind, but just small parts of it. We are, in essence, information and every piece of information from our mind that we record is pa...rt of our mind. Thus it can be seen that the only drawback of such a back-up technology for the whole of a human mind is the exactitude of that recording. It is certain, for example, that no computer storage could possibly copy all the chemical and quantum atomic processes within the human brain, so any type of copy made could never be exact. However, a human being is never the same from moment to moment, since we are all in a state of perpetual flux, so the copying process could be seen as just part of that flux.MoreLessRead More Read Less
