Possibly. But the process of 'awakening', through the
stages of maturation--particularly the innocence, joy,
and wonder of childhood--I would not discard these
lightly.
And I have been wondering recently if the plasticity
of the uploaded personality would make possible a
restoration of that state of grace. Lovely place to
go for a vacation.
Best, Jeff Davis
