Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either [email protected] or [email protected].
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email [email protected]. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try [email protected] or [email protected]
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

I would just prefer to live the rest of my life in the matrix
Yeah, I am at the point a med-sci student could convince me to let them attempt to preserve my brain.
My life now is such that life in a VR* network ran by non-profit scientists in the future would be an improvement. Though I would like to have options for existence, so long as homeostasis is not an issue (ideally organic and symbiotic systems rather than fully tech). Toasters should get to enjoy nature once-in-a-while, too.
*= Which maybe you could say is Virtual Retirement
It might not be as utopian as you are thinking.
If it wasn't clear, I am talking about physical preservation (not "uploading", as I know that would be a copy).
Ah, yeah, I do think that would be 'safer' in a way
