I agree with Robert here. But I believe there are some
among us who think we could become immortal by having
our "software" uploaded out of our "wetware" (brain)
onto more persistent and repairable hardware. It just
occurred to me to ask what these people would say to the
suggestion that all we'd achieve that way would be the
immortality of memes?
