Total agreement here Harvey, and I am consequently interested in upload
vectors that expand/transfer/enhance my current subjective experience of
reality. Despite the fact that a destructive 'copy-load' is probably, in
theory, the easiest way to upload, I think its clear that the interimn
strategy of adding hardware to our current facilities might give us some
empowering upload options that preserve the original 'flame.'
