Humans to download their SOULS onto microchips so they can ‘live FOREVER’
Daily star ^ | 19th January 2019 | Matt Drake

PEOPLE will be able to download their “souls” onto microchips, implant it into another body and live forever, a technology expert has claimed.

Richard Skellett, a founder of Digital Anthropologist and an expert for Future of Work, has warned of a future in which British workers have chips inserted underneath their skin.

The process has already been trialled with company BioTeq fitting 150 implants in the UK.

And Sweden-based firm Biohax told the Sunday Telegraph that it is in discussions with several British companies about microchipping.

But as humans and machines become more in-sync, it could open up all sorts of possibilities – including being able to live forever.

Muslims download their souls into their pants when they take a dump.

This is another iteration of the Tower of Babel syndrome. It never ends well for sinful, egotistical humans.

Why do you believe we do not have souls? The qualities of mercy, pity and forgiveness surpass machine thinking and basic instincts in human behavior every day in the people who haven’t debased themselves. I don’t believe those qualities reside in the neuron network we live in while alive.

What about people who have no souls like the Godless demon Nutzy Peloi?

Didn’t say it was impossible only that it would take time.

Question is…Do you want to be downloaded by Microsoft or Apple?

I guess they don’t understand that if the tech was there to create an exact duplicate of yourself down to the atom, it wouldn’t be you. How could it? If you could right now snap your fingers and create an exact duplicate of yourself is your consciousness going to leave you body and go into that one? Nope.

Sure you’re not thinking about “Altered Carbon”? Actually a very well done series about this very subject.

Technology may be able to capture a person’s memories,speech patterns and behaviors, but the soul is present before any of those can form, and exists after they are extinguished, unto eternity.

The three i remember is the one where a woman needed a personal assistant and realized the best personal assistant is herself....her copy wasn’t to thrilled with the idea.
Then there is the guy suspected of murder and secretly copied onto a chip and then manipulated into confessing, as a joke the technician took that copied soul and slowed down time where he is forced to listen to one very loud Christmas song in the kitchen of a cabin for thousands of years..only minutes though in real time.
Then there was San Junipero where old people about to die were allowed upload their souls into a Cali beach town to live eternity in whatever decade that was offered, the 80’s mostly in that episode.
The Black Museum episode where a convicted murderer’s soul was transferred to a chip where paying customers get to violently torture him over and over.

it’s a really good anthology series, you should check it out.

One’s soul isone’s sense of self. Schizoprenia and disassociative disorder - not knowing who I am - teach us how little we know about our individuality, our personal sense of self.
“How am I not you?” is a question we cannot answer. Some philosophers have resolved this by claiming a pure form solypsism, “All I see, do, and think is an extension of myself.” Others claim that the sense of self is simply the aggregation of our individual life’s experience.
The Bible teaches us that we are uniquely and wonderfully made by our Creator. Every living thing seems to have a sense of self, even, perhaps each individual bacterium. Somehow all of these individuals survive for their allotted time in relative harmony with the rest. This is an amazing miracle.
Now some geek wants to put me on a microchip so I can be immortal. All I can say is, “Me as a microchip does not seem particularly desirable.”
