Through sheer stubbornness I have repeatedly tried different wordings to try to make clear to others what seems clear to me, namely, that uploading is unlikely to be successful no matter how advanced the technology may be. In the last week or two on the CI forum Cryonics _ (mailto:) there was a lively exchange, and a few who started out insisting that uploading must succeed ended by conceding that it might not. One of those was Jones Murphy, a very bright and well informed individual. Whether this will have any importance of course is unclear, but it gives me some satisfaction.
