‘Consciousness is not restricted to the brain.’ ‘Consciousness is the function of an organism, not an organ.’
The human organism is changing.
For millions of years we have been augmenting our physical abilities
Originally we extended our lives by writing & publishing static, analogue data
Now we create active, digital data that is fluid and alive.
Increasingly our lives are being lived and expressed digitally.
Ideas and references to it are everywhere around us, in art, language, literature, culture and philosophy
We want and need an afterlife
We can still interact with something of them but their legacy personalities are ‘passive’ like the media they used to extend themselves.
Previous generations have lived on after their deaths though the extensions of their selves they
generated during their lives.
ownership of our data is currently problematic but significant efforts are underway to consolidate and
bring personal data under our own control
