I want to thank Giulio Prisco, I did not know Wikipedia had an article on
mind uploading. The article is actually quite good, and it says two things
that I've been saying for well over a decade. First it says:

[Mind Uploading] "denies the vitalist view of human life and consciousness."

But of course nearly everyone, even most people on this list believe in the
vitalist view.

It then says:

"The prospect of uploading human consciousness in this manner raises many
philosophical questions involving identity, individuality and the soul."

But of course nearly everyone, even most people on this list believe in the
soul.
