    You’re going to need to provide some citation on that one

    I linked to the podcast which has citations to the research in the show notes.

    All of the above you would know if you weren’t intent on being a disingenuous twit.

    Take it up with the Second Law of Thermodynamics and Decay Theory of Immediate Memory. You’re trying to turn a human into a Ship of Theseus, but at best all you’re doing is imperfectly copying and replicating the information therein. We run into the same problems with computer memory, and the only real working solution is to make multiple perfect copies at discrete intervals as backup.

    That’s simply not possible at the cellular level at this time. Nor would backup/restore of cellular data be a practical solution, particularly as it regards the human brain, any time in the foreseeable future.

    You’re doomed to die, just like everything else that’s existed to date.

      That’s not how the laws of the thermodynamics works. Biological immortality is perfectly possible and we see it all the time in nature please look it up.
