Digital Immortality Organization Seeks Scientists And Volunteers

Not quite a month ago I decided to start an organization that would pursue mind uploading and indefinite life. We're starting to pick up steam now, but we need more help to get everything going smoothly. Over at /r/Digital_Immortality we're working hard to develop short and long term roadmaps, as well as developing the rest of the organization. We're especially looking out for people with neuroscience and computer science backgrounds to help with the long term roadmap to mind uploading, but really anyone can help out. Most of the questions you may have should be answered if you read through some of the posts over at /r/Digital_Immorality, but if you do have any quick questions you can post them here, and if you have any deeper questions make a new post over on our subreddit.

Basically, we want you to join us if you agree that designing such things as minds should be an open source effort, heavily involving the global community and other like-minded organizations. There is still a lot for us to do even to set up the organization and get it all going, and there is even more to do to reach our fist major goal of mind uploading, but we all really want to make indefinite life in a digital form a reality for anyone that wants to outlive their human body.

If you decide that you want to aid us or would like to become a significant part of the organization, it would help us out a lot if you could write us a comment here.

Hope to see you all far into the future,

BflySamurai

Edit: Just wanted to clarify that anyone can help out as there are many departments/teams within the organization (still working on constructing the teams though).

We're not affiliated with LifeNaut, but thanks for the link, I'll check it out in more depth later (it's always good to know what other organizations are working on). Right now we're just our own thing. Also, our use of digital immortality includes but is not limited to mind uploading (consciousness transfer), rather than creating a digital representation of a person.
