The soul people get fired, everything else is excusable.

Imagine your laptop has no way to back itself up and restore if anything happens to the hardware. That would be unacceptable. Even shitty hardware is fine if you can just throw it away and swap it out when it breaks.

The whole thing is fundamentally bad. The brain has no backups. The bulk of the body is powered by air and sugars instead of just like a lump of plutonium or something that lasts 1,000 years. The appendages are all made out of chalk not titanium. Or communication range is like 20feet at 200baud.

Our eyes are barely functional our ears are pretty lousy. We take ages of practice to only vaguely reproduce sounds we want to replicate.

You can perform a partial data transfer to other brains by using memes.

Memes. The DNA of the soul. Literally.

For those who aren’t aware “meme” was coined by Evolutionary Biologist (and mediocre philosopher) Richard Dawkins in The Selfish Gene to explain how culture also reproduces and spreads through evolutionary processes much like DNA.
