A V2EX user argues that digital immortality is both physically permissible and necessary for human civilization. The post claims that consciousness continuity is logically guaranteed as long as the experience remains logically connected, regardless of substrate. A practical “Ship of Theseus” approach is proposed: a mature brain-computer interface would first let a silicon auxiliary brain coexist with the biological brain, synchronizing all memories and structure, then seamlessly take over after biological death. The author also speculates that if digital immortality had already been achieved, society might use a simulation-based moral exam to filter candidates before granting them silicon access—hinting we might already be living in such a test.
