sauve qui peut!

blogs chronicle our lives right? Imagine how soon it'll be before they are able to download perfect copies of our brains right? well - soon enough there will be hollow human beings out there to make the concept of identity fraud totally pointless. They would need only to parrot and mimic those around them. Thing is - among the people living these days in a very public way, that document and catalog their lives in every last detail, and live solely for internet reflection will be the most vulnerable and susceptible in the long run. If there exists DNA records and a neural copy of the mind and psyche, there will be clones ready for implantation that's certain. How fucking funny. This concept of hollow human beings logically means that there'll be someone out there who'll sacrifice his/her body for this full body transplant / brain transplant. What'll probably be nice is, it'll just be some poseur who just wants to assume someone's identity to some unhealthy level. The resulting transplant, whether it's done sci-fi style by just swapping and flopping the body parts in and out, or it's done in a more new millennium style of simply carrying around compressed existences as if they were software on usb keys. If these souls could only grow and evolve, that's our ticket to true immortality.
