Why superimmortality is better than immortality
More actions
Many people have discussed the problems with immortality like boredom, over population, hellish conditions or experiences like being older and older with all the corresponding infirmities, or god produced tortures. Superimmortality is entirely different. Your consciousness is tied to your current body only as long as it produces a consciousness that you experience --- it has your ixperiencitness. It produces a consciousness that you experience when it produces a structure and functioning of a brain that is within the set of structures and functioning of matter (physapaths) that produce your ixperiencitness. There is no need for mind substance or soul that exists after death. Any particular structure and functioning of matter is always potentially produceable in the type of universe we currently live in. A structure and functioning of matter or physapath under the current physical laws of our universe will produce the same consciousness every time it is produced. So your conscious life time can be repeated by repeating the the structure and functioning that produced it in the first place at any time and place in the universe. You would never get bored any more than you did in this life time because each time it was produced it would seem like the first time.
This repeated short human life time can be extended in many different ways with many new experiences thus producing many new and different consciousness that you will experience. A particular physapath can be started at any point along it length thus avoiding starting over at birth or before each time. At any point along a physapath the functioning can diverge thus producing a different consciousness or awarepath. In most cases if at the point of divergence the physapath was producing a consciousness with your ixperiencitness it will continue to produce a consciousness that you experience for at least a while until the physapath has changed to the point of producing a different ixperiencitness. Since there are an enumerable amount of different ways to have the senses effect the way the brain functions at any point along your life there can be an enumerable amount of different divergent physapaths that can be produced that you will experience that do not disappear at your death. it is not the matter that is important in producing your ixperiencitness it is the structure and functioning of the matter. Since we know that atoms, molecules, cells, organs, and other body parts are replaceable in the body and it still produces the same ixperiencitness, we know that there is nothing special in the continuation of the body's matter but the structure and functioning that the body is producing. duplicate the structure and functioning of the brain closely enough and you duplicate the consciousness and ixperiencitness that the body produces.
Since different physapaths that produce the same ixperiencitness can exist at the same time you can be much more than a singular conscious being at one time. Many different bodies could be producing many different consciousnesses that you would experience at the same time. Physical bodies can be enhanced in many ways. Thus consciousnesses can be enhanced in many different ways. many of these enhancements will still produce the same ixperiencitness thus you can experience many enhanced consciousness.
Since there can be many different conscious versions of you, there can be many conscious versions of you that could and do care about you and want to improve the consciousnesses that you experience. If they have any control over the consciousnesses that are produced they likely will pick the conscious experiences that they favor for you (they) to experience.
Theories of immortality usually does not have multiplicity of self, enhancement of self, multiplicity of care for the self, These immortality theories usually have the requirement of continuity of experiences and continuousness of body and or soul. superimmortality can have any number and any length periods of time that do not produce a consciousness that you experience and you will not be aware of any time passing unless it is created by the structure and functioning of the a particular existing body. For example, if a billion years passed from this moment and the structure and functioning was recreated from this moment you would not be aware of any time passing.
