When we sit back and think about how matter in its simplest stable macro form like protons, neutrons, and electrons, with properties that have the ability to retain information about how to carry on its complexity within different environmental factors, we reach a point where we can imagine these stable forms of matter becoming processes of life. We naturally use our mind to create conceptions of the nature of physical and chemical processes.

Last month, I wrote about the challenges of building one transhumanist vision of the future; digital worlds in which humans exist as data, sort of like The Matrix but leaving the physical body behind in the process.

As Alcor member Mark Plus : writes Why do we call engineering efforts to solve a hard problem which haven’t worked so far failures , 8221 while some people call cryonics’ attempts at intervening into the death process denial” The difference
