[ExI] after upload, what?

[William Flynn Wallace]

I am assuming that an uploaded person can change the programming - the
parameters.  So how can that work?

Suppose one could change the enjoyment of chocolate to the most intense
pleasure possible - like dumping a ton of dopamine into a brain.  What
would happen?  A biological body would adapt and inhibit extreme reactions
and probably develop an addiction and tolerance.  Not in an upload. You
could presumably make every pleasure as intense as possible.

If you read the news and there was a disaster you could turn off any
negative emotions and just note that news cognitively - no empathy at all.
No feeling bad.

Is that what people want?  bill w
