I won't be alive but my mind will be transfered to a data center and uploaded to a new body.

I don't normally say this, but cringe

Plenty of Earth left to destroy*. OP is really optimistic that the human race won’t off itself.

No, because it's so far off that it's basically science fiction.

Yes I lose sleep over it every night. Sometimes I peer out my window at night and ask them to take me or when I’m taking my dog out at night, I stare at Sirius then Mars and just try to will an abduction. It never works. I am still here on Earth and will remain here forever.

They said airplanes weren’t possible.

Pretty sure death stops aging fairly effectively

We already found aliens. We just haven't been told yet. Duh.

I keep yelling out "upload me!" On the off chance that someone who can is watching and bored.

When I was young, I thought I would see these things happen in my lifetime.

Now that I am 60, I am pretty sure I won't.

It bothers me less and less, though. Everyone has to come to grips with the fact that they experience the universe during a short window of time. I also am more aware of humanity's historical context. There have been over 10000 years of human civilization and culture around the world, and I have seen only 60 years of it; there is so much I have already missed and will never know, so why worry about the future stuff that I won't know about either?

That historical context also strongly suggests that our technological civilization is more fragile than we realize, and I'm OK with that. If this bothers you, then I suggest reading "Earth Abides" by George R. Stewart, which chronicles human civilization on Earth after a pandemic wipes out most humans. I first read this almost 50 years ago, and the lessons are as relevant today as they were then.

In a way yeah. I wish I had been born in the year 100,000 for example. If earth is still around or we would have colonized other planets….imagine all the cool shit that we will have discovered/invented in the year 100,000!!!

I’m hoping that technology will be advanced enough by the time im older for me to preserve my brain until it can be placed in an android body

I don’t think any of this will happen. Infact i think we’re living in the peak of technology. You must’ve heard the saying what goes up must come down. Humanity will reach a breaking point at some point. There’s a big possibility we could go back to stone age because of nuclear warfare. I could be wrong though just stating my opinion.

George Washington didn’t know about dinosaurs and he was the first president. I think we’ll be iiiight

>We will have evolved to the needs of our environments.

That's not the way evolution works

I'm just grateful I was born in an age where I can vote and don't need a husband to open a bank account... I shudder to think about it.
