Only if we get the search functions working properly... :-(
But on a more serious note, one of the reasons that I
post to the ExI list is because I hope that if for some
reason biotech doesn't advance fast enough to allow
me to make it under Death's scythe, or I miss the cryonics
bus, then there may be enough information in the archives
or the google cache of some of my papers, or the Wayback
archive to allow a reasonable copy of Robert to be
reproduced as an AI/Avatar/etc.
Also, as a minor side-note, I have now officially joined
the ranks of Damien, Anders, Robin, Aubrey et al, in that I
am now "officially" a published author [1]. Its part
of my general strategy to spread my "knowledge" around
in case anyone wants to try to "reassemble" me at some point.
(Also, Damien and Anders may wish to note they are cited in [1]).
Of course this strategy does raise the interesting question of
whether the extropian archives *are* preserved in multiple places?
(In case some meteor hits someplace in Canada as happened
a few years ago.) If not -- I would like to propose we do
something about this.
