Agreed, I only partially got into the revamped Star Trek and I really didn't follow any of the spin offs as it seemed too many to be keeping up with but watched the Season of Star Trek Discovery and enjoyed it..

After watching the first episode I realised that I had seen it before and it looked very interesting back then but for some inexplicable reason It dropped right off my radar... Thanks to you though it's back to the front of the queue.. Quality viewing it has to be said...
Subscriber CaaC (John)+ Posted December 9, 2018 Subscriber Posted December 9, 2018 Talking about StarTrek as I said I love The Next Generation but have also watched the series of Deep Space Nine & Voyager but the Enterprise series I just could not get into that one for some reason and stopped watching it after a while but after you lot talking about the Discovery series which I have not seen yet I might give that a try, the Star Trek series in order for me would be... Star Trek - The Next Generation Voyager Deep Space Nine You never know, after watching Discovery it might knock The Next Generation off of my perch but I doubt it.

Better hope they get a hoof on with immortality then... Although if we die and are then reborn into the next generation then maybe you will... However, if that's true you are highly unlikely to remember this life other than through strange flashbacks and of course this very conversation...

The Next Generation was ok but I was never an avid follower.. Never seen Voyager or Deep Space Nine other than through adverts for it...

Let's just say the technology/advancements were in fact available, would you opt for a clone of yourself as you are now? Would you go for some robotic upgrades to improve your speed, strength and thinking skills or would you go totally the other way and give the male body option a whirl???

No, I'd just make regular backups of my mind that would serve as system restore points and would only be used after my original body (and brain) dies. Original unaltered data, no edits, no upgrades. I'd like to keep the copy as close to the original as possible and avoid cognitive dissonance...

You are talking about just saving the hard data in the event or should I say inevitable demise of the body but you would still need to transfer all this once the body had ceased to be.. unless you just plan to be carried around in Hard Drive for all eternity...

No of course, and the body should be as close to the original one as possible as well, with all its imperfections and all little details. Even if cognitive dissonance wasn't an issue, I'm not particularly interested in overcoming the limitations of a human body so don't care about physical or intellectual upgrades at all... Considering it's already a copy, I'd rather keep it as "real" as possible.

Subscriber CaaC (John)+ Posted December 10, 2018 Subscriber Posted December 10, 2018 All this Science Fiction has got me going, I have read the book Dune by Frank Herbert and yesterday the film Dune (1984) was on tv, just realized now that I have put a book and film topic into the Sci-Fic thread.

nudge Posted December 10, 2018 Posted December 10, 2018 Better and more in-depth look at the Fermi Paradox: Thoughts? What is the probability that extraterrestrial life exists, whether in primitive or intelligent or completely unknown forms, in your opinion? Are we alone in an otherwise empty, lifeless universe? Or haven't we just found it yet?
