CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
Would you put your brain in a robot body?

Yes, but you'll have robot reflexes and secondary computers. You can download the robot dance and martial arts and any physical skill onto your secondaries like on the matrix.

Whats this about pain? Are you saying I can function without pain, when my brain has evolved to feel and respond to it, and therefore probably cannot function as well without it? It might at least help me from inadvertantly damaging the robot body and the expense that would incurr.

Nah I already live vicariously through the internets. If I had no chance at living for real I would short circuit myself.

People with CIPA have working brains. The problems that come with it are related to not knowing when you're being damaged. Your robot body will have damage sensors, and you can wire that to effect the pain centers of your brain... but why would you?

You'd be living for real, just as a robot. It's no different than what you're doing now, your brain is directly in control of a meat puppet.
Think of this as a hardware upgrade.

I wonder how hard would it be to retrain the brain to use 4 arms or a tripod leg system?

I think I might have issues with direct brain to internet connection. I'm already possibly ADD, but now I do have to disconnect from computers to do other things. If I didn't have to...

But just think, a whole new arena for hackers
Indeed. I don't want a fridge with apps, because I can only imagine what a hacker might do to my fridge with a little time on his hands.
I guess I will just have to make sure my android interface was not designed by Microsoft.

Again, you can download those skills. Your secondary computers will compensate.

Well a fridge with apps is fine, you just need to have it sequestered to your local intranet behind the firewall, unless you've got hackers in the house

No, the kids are no good with computers yet. All the damage they cause is accidental.

Very tempting. I'll look into it. Right now they are learning how to not damage Windows, or at least to not clutter the heck out of it, but I may push Linus on them at some point.

The brain would still degrade inside the robot body. I would prefer a memory/personality transfer to an onboard artificial "brain". If that happened I would probably spend a few decades on Earth. I would then transfer to a space probe and go explore space.
