(over simplified) Knowing that you are a fan of Spider and Jeanne (bless her passing) Robinson, have you ever read his book, Mindkiller? Science Fiction, yes, but quite amazing...porting digital memory talks about downloading...what about uploading? And as for Titan - we know whats going on! Picking up more symbiote for the Stardancers!<br />The digital Matter got a little over my head, but what the heck - I am not a rocket scientist! ( way not stupid either, but...) The future looks bright in so many ways, hopefully the light will outshine the darkness. As for souls...I see no conflict between science and souls. And whether souls are "real" or not, the measuring stick is what we DO with knowledge, not that it exists...as long as we honor and respect the worth and dignity of each human being! Being able to download dreams and memories, or give knowledge to people would be huge and good - using it to brainwash, or torture would be bad. Our actions individually and collectively define our relationship to the world and others. Glad I found your blog!Cameronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13378591363411441816noreply@blogger.com
