what do we think is the best long term future for consciousness? — Gingethinkerrr

I think humans evolved to be acting, problem solving creatures. I guess all living organisms have. That is at the center of our nature. Without that, we have no reason to live. Whatever gets uploaded into a computer wouldn't be human anymore. Without any reason to do anything, I think we'd all sit around doing nothing till we decided to delete ourselves.

Tnx!

I'm not sure what your question is.

A thought that ran through my mind was what do we think is the best long term future for consciousness? — Gingethinkerrr

Can you clarify what you mean here?

Are you talking about the future of human beings per say, or is there something about consciousness you are interested in? Perhaps it would help if you described a particular situation so that this is clarified.

Human experience - with emotional interpretation and our fragile understanding of creation — Gingethinkerrr

I don't like the word 'creation' as it implies a creator. I see no evidence of a creator. I would probably talk about our fragile understand and awareness. Or is creation/creator important to your question?

Which is the better suited to endure to the end of existence?? — Gingethinkerrr

What do you mean here? What does 'better suited' look like and what 'end of existence' are you imagining? The end of humans on earth (which is quite different to the end of existence) or do you mean something more totalising?

My own view is that humans might be wiped out (climate, disease, war). But the world and the universe is likely to go on. AI, I have no profound thoughts on, so far it's just a tool we've built and we don't really know if it will survive us.
