The reason I brought up gender differences in cognitive style rather
than bodily morphology is because it would not be the bodies of
people which would be uploaded, but their minds. If gender
differences in cognitive style are pronounced enough to be
measurable over a large population to a statistically significant
degree, it would seem to introduce a further element of complexity
into the uploading project. Multiple connectionist schema within the
cybernetic upload site might be required to accommodate the
possibly distinct neural network patterns underlying these cognitively
stylistic differences (verbal/aural vs. visual/spatial being the most
documented and notable). Comment ca vu?
