turchin! You’re just killing me with these ideas, I’m absolutely blown away and excited by what I’m reading here. I commented above to Harrison Durland’s comment questioning resurrecting Mammoths and already dead human brains?? Is it that if you happened to die before EA/Longtermists develop the tech to preserve your brain for future re-animation then your just screwed out of being in on the future? Or from an idea I developed in one of my stories for a different purpose—what if every single movement on the earth created waves which emanated outward into space, every motion, every sound, every word uttered, and even every brain wave...and it is an indelible set of waves forever expanding outwardly...and we develop a reader...and then a player...we could watch scenes of everything that ever happened. Eventually we could reconstruct every brain wave so we could rebuild and then re-animate all humans who ever lived. Wow. Is this the resurrection? Is this the merging of science and religion, atheism and spirituality?
To collect all that information we need superintelligent AI, and actually we don’t need all vibrations, but only the most relevant pieces of data—the data which is capable to predict human behaviour. Such data could be collected from texts, photos, DNA and historical simulations—but it is better to invest in personal life-logging to increase ones chances to be resurrected.

Can you point me to more writing on this and tell me the history of it.
Check my site about it: http://digital-immortality-now.com/
Or my paper: Digital Immortality: Theory and Protocol for Indirect Mind Uploading
And there is a group in FB about life-logging as life extension where a few EA participate: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1271481189729828
Thanks!
