I've been thinking.
| The Va-11 Hall-A universe where your conciousness is uploaded?
| However, in the RUINER universe, we do not know much about Heaven, apart from that's where the Boss is, and that Rengkok City hierarchy is based on how rich you are, how corrupt some of these areas are, especially in lower parts of the city.
Almost dirt poor? South Rengkok, with the Creeps that hang out at the parking garage.
Multimillionaire? Welcome to the higher levels of Rengkok.
| But the main question is, what kind of facility IS Heaven?
Is it a storage facility of some kind?
| Trailing off, back to Va-11 Hall-A.
So if we ever had a system or server where we'd have our conciousness uploaded meaning that we actually leave our bodies behind for a new life inside a computerized world. (At this moment in time I now remember in a Doctor Who episode when people died they'd be in a digital universe, stuck for almost all time, only to come back resurrected as Cybermen.
| The finiteness of human consciousness is the only thing that gives it meaning, for me at least. A computerized after life would be cool, but for how long? I'd want to completely stop existing after a while. Anything experienced for an eternity would be hell.
| In both universes, you only get uploaded if you choose/can afford to. You don't have to if you don't want to. I wouldn't want to.
| if you uploaded your consciousness to computer wouldn't that just make clone of yourself in computer instead?

Well, that certainly depends if consciousness exists as its own entity or if it's just derived from the billions of neuron interactions in your brain. In case of (1) we might find a way to extract and store it in another form; kinda like the stacks in Altered Carbon, I guess.
| >>271327 But the odds are more towards (2) and the more we learn about the brain, the more we find support for that stance.

| What happens to people in the Va-11 Hall-A universe, or Glitch City?
They have nanobots, that monitor our actions, and could potentially kill us if the government deemed our actions unacceptable.
All at the press of a button.
But, if I am not mistaken, there is some sort of digital afterlife, when people die, right?
Assuming it's like Heaven in RUINER, it's like a utopia which benefits the rich.
Of course Heaven in Ruiner is still a real place ingame, not like (cont.)
