Let’s say I had a camera on my glasses, so it would have a similar “first person perspective.” I really enjoy being 21 (next week 22 :P) so I will stop recording after that many years. Now I would program into a computer the video/audio and then correlate words with pictures. These would be the thoughts I was thinking during some specific event.

I still won’t be able to have a conversation with this robot 😦 I need it to have a personality!

I would then group events that has played a part in being me. (motivational, spiritual, regret, etc, etc, etc) and then allow my robot to recall such events. From here, I will program every english word, letter, senetence, etc, etc, and only use the ones that I have heard, used before, or know. However, I will add a tweak, so everytime a new word is used around my robot, he will define it and chatagorize it with similar/opposites/rhyming/etc etc.

Included in this group of events is personalities, likes and dislikes, fears and joys.

I would like to end this by saying that all humans are mentally individual, but would it be possible to program senses one feels when noticing beauty.

ONE LINE SUMMARY OF THREAD: if we have 100% identical lives in every aspect and thought, “We” becomes “I”
 
This idea has been presented before. It would all be programming and machines cannot feel anything. They can only simulate feelings. A robot copy of you would not be you.

The idea of transferring human consciousness has also been brought up. I don’t see the point of it. I understand the possibilities but don’t see the point.

Peace,
Ed

Hey lemondiesel (or should I say “lemonhead”)
Quite the imagination you have there except all material beings have what are called half-lifes, which basically means that even if you could produce a robot of your self it will still break down in the future at some point whether you like it or not and you(the real you, in the flesh)will have met your maker and you(the real you) will be judged for the faith and obedience that you demonstrated in this body that you(the real you) were given. So it is probably better to use your imagination in a way that produces some good for those around you rather than for a selfish gain from a rather silly enterprise

How can identical twins “feel” each other, or have a hunch?? Even they are similar yet vastly individual? No two individuals are 100%, but hypothetically, if they were, two bodies would become one…a mirror image perhaps?

What’s the point? Couldn’t transferring myself to robot form allow for longevity?

No.
The machine has no immortal soul.

And assuming one could somehow be given it, all you have are two souls with identical lives…not one.
 
This robot has no more of an inner life than my DVD-player. It doesn’t feel anything, think anything or anything of the kind. It merely plays things which for us mean something, while it remains as lifeless.
 
lemondiesel - Go research Taylor Series. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taylor_series

The idea you present is that you could artificially create the original. It’s impossible.

No matter how much you tried you could never create an exact replica of self, the only self that has ever and will ever exist is your self. You would be creating a Taylor series in the mathematical sense of you (the function that represents yourself). You could become as detailed as possible, but never would you have the original function.

You could refute this by saying that the Taylor series could be dragged into infinity and you might get infinitely close to replication. However, in real life this would be impossible since we have the constraint of time.

Therefore, since such a replication function is impossible, so is your experiment. The we you propose could become similar to I, but there would always remain inconsistencies.

Besides, do you really want to create an immortal robot of self…why not just embrace eternal life?
 
This seems to be the day for idle fantasy! Could the coincidence have astrological signifcance? 🙂
