I missed opening. Glad to be back.
When the singularity occurs and you get uploaded, what happens to your meatspace body? Is the upload a “move” or a “copy”? If it’s a copy how could you stand waiting around to die in a few decades, knowing that there’s an immortal you somewhere out there?

I could be wrong here, but I think the idea is that you will augment what you have to the point that the meatspace body will shed its layers one by one. Eventually there wont be one. Precisely what you link to. And no, it’s not the same.
However, what’s the difference between replacing cells with silicone as opposed to new cells?

This place was amazing. A gem in Florida, really.
The garden was nice. The building is amazing. While you have to donate some money to get a tour of the Founders Room, there doesn’t seem to be a price you can pay to get into the library on the 5th floor, which is supposedly the largest of its kind.
At any rate, if you find yourself in central Florida (slightly South of Orlando) you should definitely check this place out.
A tower, on a mountain…in Florida. There is nothing else like it in the state.
