  • I have two gaming PCs, a Nintendo Switch, PS5, and a Steam Deck. If gaming is not your thing, I am a coffee snob, so I can entertain you with my coffee brewing gear or we can dial in different roasts together.

    If even coffee is not your thing, I am also a hobbyist woodworker, so maybe we can build something together.

    If all else fails, you can play with my dog, relax in one of my 3 hammocks, mess with my cats, we can go ultralight backpacking, you can play the piano, we can make scented candles or soaps, or I can teach you programming. I also have lots of books!

    Welcome to my ADHD life!

    The problem is first getting past the hurdle of defining what mind is and how consciousness works. Hell, we still don’t know much about our brain at all. Most of our mental health medications were found as a result of unexpected side effects. The brain is too complex and risky for us to understand easily, and to go into the metaphysical world of consciousness would be even more challenging. I am more interested in the consciousness uploading part of possibilities. This will 100% be abused by corporations, but in theory, you could be “alive” in virtual worlds even after the death of your physical body. We could be in one right now and not be aware of it. Once we come to a conclusion on the philosophical questions, we can then look into the physical and psychological.
