Combating Bio-Vulnerability: Will Mind Uploading Be the Ultimate Solution?
yeastsplainer · x · 2026-07-30
A discussion on X recently explored human biological vulnerability. The original perspective highlighted that attacking unaugmented humans will soon be trivial, as our natural barriers—like cells, skin, and the blood-brain barrier—are highly porous to countless attack vectors. In response, a user raised a thought-provoking question: will mind uploading or equivalent mechanization become the robust solution to bio-vulnerability? For instance, a pathogen cannot infect an artificial lung.
