Pretty much every technological advancement is something that intelligent and educated people used to say was impossible Most advancements also build on previous understanding and developments, one step after another, rather than taking a radical leap in a completely different and contrary direction. So basically, we'd never get to that point on the current tech tree we're traveling down, and there's no real incentive at the moment to reinvent this particular wheel, so odds are if it's possible at all it won't happen until long after everyone posting on this board is long dead, so to us it's effectively impossible. That's a whole lot of meaningless speculation though. I dont see how that doesn't fall into the current tech tree. We're already talking about backing up brains on a hard drive so I'd say we're at least heading in the right direction for figuring out if consciousness is quantifiable. Maybe it isnt but I think it's possible that we could find the answer to that in our lifetimes. Once A.I. becomes advanced enough it may find these answers for us <cite>OhhhJa posted [p:925304915] in Will you t...
