Some refined man provoked a question in my mind. Is it better to create a digital world, and eventually upload the brain to computers. OR. Would it be better to focus on space travel, terraforming, and solar system colonization to escape our dying Sun (or any other planetary threat) someday?

My vote is to focus on interstellar/intergalactic travel. If earth gets swallowed or at best scorched by the expanding sun, not even our digital consciousness would survive.

Probably best to focus on what's happening and what's physically possible right now.

@Really A warp drive is currently being worked on. And the Metaverse is looking to become a thing. Just saying.

@ShadowWolf Nuclear fusion, fair voting and world peace are also being worked on without much progress; and the proliferation of internet-based fake news has become "a thing". Not every thing is a good thing.

Sorry, no offence, but I'm a neo-para-Luddite. I guess it shows eh? 😄

@Really Ya the Luddite in you shows. But hey, you living in the dark ages doesn’t affect the rest of us so I support your decision. Personal freedom is great 😌

@ShadowWolfNo I'm very much living in the present, and what I do & say does affect others - including yourself or you wouldn't have responded. Think of me as somewhere between the canary in the coal mine and the distant butterfly fluttering its wings 🤓 Haha! 🤣
