This makes me think of another important point.

I suspect that everybody is forced to evolve/morph, OK, not upload,
irrespective of what we may think of it, and always has been since the birth
of life, and probably, albeit more metaphorically, even before. There is
simply no way that even human humans may remain "just the same" for any
substantial length of time.

A big issue, however, remains the fact of whether we are allowed to evolve
and morph along (possibly) diverging lines, or we are instead threatened by
some forced (or even enforced) reduction of diversity.
