Current Events > Upload consciousness, heaven exists, or $600 billion

(+) Yeah! (+)

Upload consciousness: Starting now, every week your consciousness is saved until the day you die, then you can choose to download it into a cybernetic body (similar time T-1000), or download it into a simulation world where you can essentially be a god in the program.

Heaven: It exists! Heaven is real, but are you worthy?

$600 billion: Thats it, money in your account, no questions asked, no one knows, and no taxes.

Upload consciousness obviously

---

Ugh all 3 are bad options

1. I'd still die, that backup isn't me

2. I'd def go to hell because I thought there wasn't one

3. I'd rather have some sort of immortality
---

I would take the money, but there is obviously no way you could keep that amount secret.

Man that is a crazy amount of money.

---

Easily 2
---

Heaven definitely. As long as it's not the "everyone sheds all human thoughts and become a hivemind with god" interpretation, there is literally no reason to go with the other two.

$600 billion would probably ruin your life

Ill god mode instead

---

gimme money

the fuck am i gonna do in heaven? i'd still be ugly there, and no angel would fuck me, would just be another place i'd be miserable in

dont wanna upload my misery nor download other people's misery

Money and living a good life is a pretty good reason

---

If you choose heaven, which religious interpretation is correct? Just whichever you want? Or is that left unanswered as part of the topic

---

like was said, the upload is just a copy of your mind. it's not the you that died. also what if the power goes out and the servers shut down?

Going to need a better idea of what heaven consists of before deciding. The first two choices are a toss up though. Upload consciousness sounds too good to pass up. Live my full life then effectively become a god? Crazy.

---

Upload consciousness. I want to see if everything ends with a bang or a whimper.

...fuck off

Only one of those is possible so I choose that one.

...fuck off

i already explained my reasoning

1-you'd still be dead, this would literally make 0 difference to YOU
2-if you know for a fact you're not gonna get into heaven, it's existence is pointless
3-money is disappointing when you know you could have lived forever

You were right until you got to the money one...

EZ money.

Seriously though, upload consciousness. Tbh, I think that humanity's evolutionary fate anyway if we to thrive and survive in the long run.
Also, I'm deeply curious to see for myself what will happen in the centuries to come.

---

Lmao anyone selecting option 2 ... have you really been good and haven't sinned?

---

SOMA was an entire game about how the first option is bad.

Heaven is a better option than people ITT are giving it credit for. That option doesn't also create Hell, so you just end up in the same situation you're currently in if you don't get in.

Fair enough, I edited it.

Part of me wants to take the money, but assuming it's the whole "eternal bliss and happiness" in Heaven, I'd go with that one. No idea if I'd make it in, but I know a few people who could and that's all the reasoning I need.

First thing that came to mind when I saw the "upload your consciousness" option.

I'll take the money.

Take the money and make whoever I want into a billionaire

You wouldn't know, you'd be dead. Some clone of you that thinks its you will know

Some of us have awful relationships with God and angels. The existence of heaven would be a nightmare.

you just need a device that for sure murders you during the upload.

I just ate half a pizza, that was pretty close to heaven, but now I feel like hell.

---

Can I upload consciousness into a sexy robot combat/sex lady?

You're wrong on number 2

Hard to argue against eternal paradise.

I'm flattered you think I'm a good person, but I am in fact definitely not. I have acted terribly under the assumption there would be no eternal punishment for it. While I havent done anything illegal, im p sure anyone would objective call me not a good person.
---

heaven exists but people have to have my permission 2 enter

---

Depends, is my T-1000 body in the form of Ahnaold Squitsineggo from the 80's?

---

Money, immortality seems overrated tbh

You're wrong on number 2

According to who?

---

The first one is absolutely worthless except for preserving my memory. It's not really "me," it's my copy-and-paste clone. I'm still dead. In the grand scheme of things, it's like writing a really extensive autobiography and declaration of principles before I pass.

Heaven I do believe in.

The third one is very tempting. But if it can be guaranteed that my kinks and fantasies will become realities in Heaven, I'll take that over any and all financial gain.
