[ExI] uploads again

[Tomaz Kristan]

As I see, the best and only way is to augment yourself with a
superintelligence. If it is an internal or an external device, matters not.

I want to see directly the thoughts of a superintelligence. To understand
them using it.

It's just a module you have it or you don't have it. Very much like UV and
IR vision.
