People feel comfortable with there view that they have learned of what is.
Time will change them. Agreed the average person living in an immortal
technology culture would make it less than one thousand years ( about 488
years)due to accidents, etc. There would be individuals out of millions
that would live longer.
It will be possible to transfer information from one individal to another
copy. Copies are copies and not the orginial. But copies could represent a
pseudo-immortality which for many people would be good enough. If the brain
never changed it wiring diagram then the upper limit on memory for a person
would be about 50,000 years of life. The reality is that memory is alway an
updated weighted memory system so we could have some type of continuation
for a very long time. If only 10% of people used this technology then over
50,000 years the average person alive would be an "immortal".
