Thanks for the feedback (and the back-up). Well, I’d say that half of what I write on Lesswrong is downvoted and 40% is ignored, so I don’t really care at this point. I don’t think (most of) my opinions are outlandish. I never downvote anything I disagree with myself, and there’s plenty that I disagree with. I only downvote absurd or rude comments. I think that’s the way it should be, so I’m in full agreement on that.
You also got it right on my main point. That’s precisely it. Mind you that “ending” consciousness also feels horrid to me! That’s the dilemma. Would be great if we could find a way to achieve neverending consciousness without it being horrid.
