Title: Trans-humanism leads to immortality?
Post by: much_word on November 28, 2018, 01:37:55 PM
We are all aware of the fact that no matter what we do to our bodies, they will eventually deteriorate. Diseases and illnesses are imminent. Until parts of our bodies will be made from circuits and microchips, we are not able to do much about it.
But what about VR? Virtual reality can give one the feeling he's physically real with no affected limbs or other organs. Right? There's no pain in VR but there is pain outside VR.. and you still feel it. Even though your mind is just playing a game.
I guess i'll just wait until body parts will be able to be replaced with bionic parts made to last. I think that's the way immortality will be like in the future. How do you see it?

What on earth does virtual reality have to do with achieving immortality? And how? Do you just put you VR headset on and boom, you're immortal? I think you should rethink what your definition of immortality is my friend. Creating an avatar on your favorite VR game doesn't make you immortal. Besides, immortality is not possible, so good luck with that.
