I mentioned the thread back in post #4002. The guy is a delusional crackpot with all of the credibility of jay_jay. He actually claims that plasticized human brains would be good enough to allow the person to be scanned, uploaded, and “returned to life.”
While that is not something that is reasonable to expect within our lifetimes, or those of any descendants we will ever know, it’s still far more plausible than Jay_jay’s claims.
No, taking a plastic cast of a brain and reviving the original person from it is exactly as plausible as jay_jay’s claims.
With current tech, yes. Maybe never.
The 9/11 truther thinks an airplane will bounce off a building or shatter like glass, instantly lose all momentum and fall straight down. Just like in a Bugs Bunny cartoon.
I did like how he wondered at why he was being “personally attacked” despite opening the thread with the accusatory “What’s your excuse?” (although he never did explain what he meant by that).
I stopped paying attention to that thread. I assumed you meant plasticized as in a process of plasticization to be developed in the future, somehow in relation to his uploading.
If he is claiming that currently plasticized brains can be resurrected, then you are correct that that is a foolish claim, as, obviously, there is nothing there to be resurrected, really.
Don’t know that I feel like delving back into the thread to see the prices claims he is making though.
Post #34:
“But, preserved brains, assuming it’s done using something really stable like plastination or LN2, would be still intact, still containing the information in them, centuries from now.”
Here’s a live one:
Join date, this morning. First post.
Voulez-vous coucher avec une moufette?
Annnd he claims he’s an English teacher.
Who says shit like this:
Suuuure he is.
Are sock puppets equivalent to trolls?
RIP (until his next incarnation) Okrahoma.
Not necessarily, but most socks are doing it to troll.
Okrahoma, OTOH, was the trolliest troll who ever trolled the trolliverse. Let’s hope he’ll get caught faster in his next incarnation.

Which makes me wonder: Who has set the record here for the longest time posting as a troll before discovery?
On a former board I used to frequent, for whatever reason (gaming), someone trolled and posed as a christian fundamentalist and evolution-denier for six years, before he got tired and just told us straight out he’d been lying all that time.
I’m happy about the good news re: Okrahoma!
AMF Okrahoma. Glad to see the back of that pest. Wello done TPTB.

Hopefully, they instaban the next poster that shows up with username: Arabama.
