AOC can use a single flip-flop.

The only thing that is impossible is time travel.

It won’t be “you” on the “chip”. But the information will be there. And I doubt it will be a chip.

It’s like saying, 120 years ago, “do you think it will ever be possible to record a thousand songs on a wax cylinder?

The answer is, no. But a different medium is coming where it will be possible to store that many songs. :)

Memories are not stored in the mind, but in the soul which is much larger than the physical body.

Hubris. Human consciousness transcends mere data. Computer software is never going to achieve consciousness. Without consciousness you have zombie stimulus-response.

If you could record something from your brain, it would be a recording. The complex sequences that associate your memories and create thought is a function of the way your brain is organized and trained. Whatever you recorded would hold nothing that was “you.” It would be like a fuzzy black and white photo from a long ago event, bereft of meaning and only accessible to someone who downloaded it and viewed it. There would be no portion of “you” in that recording.

That was the idea behind the movie Transcendence (2014), with Johnny Depp. It was actually pretty interesting.

Not any time soon.

Each of us knows far too much to be encoded without vast, vast, vast, amounts of storage.

Of course it’s possible. Kenny Rogers & The First Edition sang all about it in 1968.

We should probably be careful to distinguish memory from mind.

Why bother inventing something nobody’s going to pick up, plug in and read?

“Could this be possible?”

It might, but I hope not.

“I mean your brain is like a memory storage so theoretically wouldn’t it be possible to download that memory to another location such as a memory chip.”

They are already trying to cram us into Soviet-style apartment blocks in “walkable” neighborhoods to fight “sprawl.” Think how much easier we will be to control of we all fit in a drawer.

In theory, of course. Any kind of information can be translated into and stored as electronic bits. Fundamentally, there's no reason why electrical circuits couldn't replicate not only your memories, but your emotions and personality too. In place of neurons, you just substitute electrical circuits.

How to do this in practice is a different story. We'd first have to have a near-perfect understanding of how the brain encodes information, much less how to translate it into another medium. We're nowhere close to that yet.

Sounds like a prescription for a nightmare.

The New World Order won’t be that ambitious. Expect a chip to be embedded in your hand or forehead someday that will contain your ID and medical information, what bank accounts you have and their balances. You will not be able to buy or sell without this chip. That should be enough control for the Anti-Christ.

Sounds like a bad idea; especially if you were running for office.

You still would not know where you left your keys or even where you parked your vehicle last night. ?

We don’t even know what ‘mind’ is, let alone storing whatever ‘it’ is on a flash drive.
