Abstract: “I do think, however, there is a (natural) tendency to way
overestimate the importance of copying our brain structure to copying
our minds. I think our minds will be uploadable in good enough shape
to satisfy most everyone by reconstructing them from information
stored in software mindfiles such as diaries, videos, personality
inventories, saved google voice conversations, chats, and chatbot
conversations. The reconstruction process will be iteratively achieved
with AI software designed for this purpose, dubbed mindware.“

Martine Rothblatt is an American lawyer, author, and entrepreneur.
Rothblatt graduated from UCLA with a combined law and MBA degree in
1981, then began work in Washington, D.C., first in the field of
communication satellite law, and eventually in life sciences projects
like the Human Genome Project. She is currently the founder and CEO of
United Therapeutics. In 2004, Rothblatt launched the Terasem Movement,
a transhumanist school of thought focused on promoting joy, diversity,
and the prospect of technological immortality via personal
cyberconsciousness and geoethical nanotechnology. The purpose of the
CyBeRev (cybernetic beingness revival) project of the Terasem Movement
is to prevent death by preserving sufficient information about a
person so that recovery remains possible by foreseeable technology.
