maybe this has already been discused before, but I wonder: what if I could clone/copy myself millions of times and send all the copies throughout the universe, telling them to return at a given time. when they did return, I could form a direct mind connection with each of them, forming a large "collective" entity. i would have all the memories of all their experiences, in effect, living a meta-life instead of living linearly. it seems to me that this would be a goal fitting of an extropian, since this would allow me to get more out of life than any
"individual" possible could. reactions?

(Note: this idea borrowed in part from the novel "tomorrow and tomorow", essentially an extropian love story.)
