X-Message-Number: 10371 Date: Thu, 3 Sep 1998 10:06:23 -0400 From: Thomas Donaldson <> Subject: CryoNet #10357 - #10362 To Bob Ettinger: Your account of Tipler and Moravec's ideas is interesting. And I thank you for it. I myself may be making an assumption here, which their ideas bring out: that our personalities are so much connected to our memories (plus our genetics) that without those memories we could not retain the same personality. I still think this is likely, but it IS a separate assumption. (Why do I think it likely? Because what I know about brain structure has no special place for a "personality" separate from the detailed connectivity of our neurons --- which also is the same as our memories). And naturally I want to live as long as possible and if I can avoid the need to be suspended. Best and long long life to all, Thomas Donaldson Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=10371
