All three, Perry, deWolf and Sueng keep apologizing for not knowing how memory works. Well, I know. Because I've taken a turn into quantum physics, but not as interpreted by "materialist" "anti-woo" quantum physicists which is just more of the same hard-core reductionist insistance pushed by cryonicists. The Wooey stuff isn't so bad once you read Matzke's Deep Reality. My job will be correlate "connectomics" with "quantumonics". Sueng coined the first time, I coined the second.
This review of Connectomics by Seung reminds me that I'll be taking Quantumonics to Seung and Hayword for comment which got groans from BXR Industries in reddit cryonics, but now I see BXR was banned by the new mods at reddit/cryonics too-- very odd.
The first thing cryonics should be interested in is truth. However, there's been so much effort and money involved in cryonics by now that they can't afford to explore truth anymore. The truth very well may be that our minds are "offsite" and that the connectome is an antenna for quantum-mind. It's really that simple.
I'm listening to My Way right now, a song from the 1960's which fits with my post as I write. I've invested a lot of time, my level of money for me, and effort in cryonics as well. However when I found Matzke, Penfield, Russell and Burr, I had no philosophical choice but to turn in that direction, on account of the sudden explosion of truth regarding the weird possibilities in quantum dimensions. The implications are speculative but then so is cryonics, in the first place.
DE Wolf, in his review of Connectomics, makes the point that cryonics is cryonics because of the uncertainty involved, otherwise it would be suspended animation. Similarly, I would say quantumonics, my term for the preservation of mind, automatically, in quantum space due to the dualist nature of mind and body, is uncertain as well but we're stuck with uncertainty as surely as cryonics is.
The advantage of quantumonics over cryonics is that it's free and effortless. That suits me just fine because it's nearing 4 pm, my personal happy hour for a beer here in Phoenix, having lived within 30 minutes of driving to the Scottsdale based Alcor cryonics company that I originally came down to Arizona for in 1991. It's been a long long road to discoving my own immortality.
