Okay. Now that you mention computers, I want to become a "mech" human and live forever. I want to live forever so badly.

But even when I say that, I remember that "I" is only my consciousness, so, once "I" am gone... there are other "I"s to experience life. Right?

It's just weird to imagine this...
