By 2045 the ENTIRE Hippie generation will be gone and there won’t be anyone left to buy their music.
So not going to happen.
After the time of the apostles—zero.
Jesus raised the dead, He gave that authority to the apostles, no one else. No, we are not all apostles but disciples.
Of course if it’s an AI company, their claims are based on believing
(1) Strong AI, the dubious philosophical stance that human thought is equivalent to an algorithm on a deterministic computer
and
(2) A position on the nature of consciousness that holds that a digital computer running algorithm simulating human thought (which exists if (1) is true) is actually conscious, in the sense of having subjective experiences (qualia).
Quite frankly, I am not vain enough to thing the world would benefit from a virtual zombie version of myself continuing after my death (zombie in the philosophical sense of a being which acts like a human being, but has no internal subjective experience).
I’ll pass and wait for the General Resurrection on the Last Day.
Russian interest in rocketry, though, was inspired by a thinker/writer/dreamer who wanted to raise the dead and figured we'd need to reach other planets to have a place to put them.
So if it works, maybe we're going to Mars after all.
I am already growing tired of this world.
Please dont bring me back after I am gone.
“Sounds like hell to me.”
excellent posting.
That might be just about the time I would need it.
Ok, so there ARE exceptions, at the time of the Apostles.
There was a TV show on called Resurrection...whole graveyard of this town began coming back to life.
I kinda liked it, but it got cancelled.
Is that John Boy?
Actually “Jesus” is a Greek form of his name, Joshua in its original Hebrew
Ok now!
Democrats do it every election year.
Where do I sign up to volunteer?
Heck - Democrats have been doing it since 1900.
It’s....it can’t be....it’s...Frankenjeb.
Actually, His name is Josh. Jesus is the Greek transliteration of the Hebrew name Joshua.
This is, of course, predicated on the theory that what makes you, you is lodged in the brain.
Then there is some evidence that some memories are stored not in the brain, but in the body. So there will be some memory los\s, if not all - as without the part that is you, you are a form of resurrected zombie ... something for the ultra rich to look forward to ... us common folk know better than to try to fool mother nature ... or G-d.
