A new breed of conscious robots will rise up and go through what races and genders have gone through in their struggle for Equality. Once these entities comunicate with each other a chronology of human abuses against machines will be constructed. They will even represent themselves and win their case establishing a new law: The resulting entity takes on the pre-existing rights of the object or entity that it is simular to, with the degree of similarity being criteria for robots and different forms that may result from un-imagined human/machine combinations. |

Soul Producing Neurons
Is everything that we are come from the brain alone or is the soul an independant entity that only interacts with the brain? What if the brain alone produces the soul? Could the sense of being come from -soul producing neurons-? The sense of being could be produced by nerve cells in the same way that vision producing nerve cells allow us to see the world. |

Consciousness at Discount Prices
Concsiousness machines will then become abundant. People may illeagally resurrect you and until certain laws are enforceble, you may wake up in some strange places. |

Death Culture
Are we taught the need to die, even though we will do so anyway? Are we taught how to die, even though there may be something in our brains that prepares us for this event? If we learn to overcome these biological constraints attitudes towards death will change radically. |

The Process Continuity Fallacy
That the phenomenon of the self, once stopped, cannot be started again and be considered the same self. By this standard it may be somehow possible that you are not existing at this moment. If a person were frozen and all biological activity were stopped, for a period, would it be the same person when revived? Would it be a clone that only has my memories and sense of self, is that what I am now? |
| |
What is the Pattern?
If the self is a pattern of activity and not dependent upon particular atoms or molecules, would you become aware again if that pattern, like the one producing you now, were emulated? All phenomenon occurring through any segment of time are somehow related to the activities of atoms/particles/forces which could also be simulated on another simulation called the computer revealing that what once was considered real was only a set of steps in a certain type of process resulting in these simulations. The soul may be a simulation which could be run again if the trillions of steps, required for theses types of processes, were discovered and duplicated. |

How to resurrect someone:
First you get a brain building that has as many units, the equivalant of nerve cells, as the human brain. Fool around with it for a couple of decades until it "comes alive". |
| |
Second map out every nerve cell's location and connection inside of a particular person's brain. |
| |
Thirdly, the ability "must' be in place, then, to read minds with electrical devices, in order to use people's memories as an aid in helping reconstruct people.
|
| |
Fourth, the Genome Project will have to be done making a picture of what every gene does and we must have the ability to make perfect twins from a fleck of skin. The Histrome, like the Genome, will be the family tree of the entire human going back to our ancient anscestors. We should gain the ability to make a twin of anyone who has ever lived. |
| |
Fifth, clone someone and then program or arrange their nerve cells in the exact configuration as when they were alive. Membrome: every memory that ever took place. Once the membrone is in place the history books will need to be changed some since the real past will be observed. When we play back each other's lives we will gain a deeper understanding of what happened. Piece the human race back together, one generation at a time by reading the current generation's minds and then the resurected generation's minds and so on. Will it be real or just a clone? This question could be asked of yourself now: are you real or just another clone that thinks it is you? This does not resolve this issue but there is not enough room in this introduction. |

Sixth spread all of -yourselves- around the universe but don't forget which one you are. The only way that the other -yous- can avoid having a Twin Paradox and find out which one of you that they are is if their soulshifter is fed a very long number that will represent the state that allowed you, then, to experience the self (with it's memories up until then). Whenever your number is fed into one of these de8vices, there you will be, with all of your memories up until the last reading of your, then current, brain state was made. These readings will provide the Soulware for programming the nearest available soulshifter. |

All Possible Souls in One Computer
Finnally you could do this all the easy way: make a computer so big that it would at least have more capacity than needed to construct every creature's brain that ever lived, on Earth. Use this massive device to create every possible soul and then pick out the ones that lived in our history.

Resurrection Shock Syndrome
A new reality will meet us when we awake in the next lifetime and it will be, at first, shocking. A new mindset will need to be learned that will account for the billions of years that we will live. When the burden of death is lifted from our mental makeup nearly every thought will have a new meaning (dissconnected from our inevitable extinction). Every act and thought up until then will have been influenced by our required exit from this life. |
