Cheap Soul Teleportation, Coming Soon to a Theater Near You?

Cheap Soul Teleportation, Coming Soon to a Theater Near You? | Science News | Scoop.it

The question I wish to raise here is whether we can teleport our soul, and, specifically, how best we might do it. I’ll suggest that we may be able to get near-complete soul teleportation into the movie (or video game) experience, and we can do so with some fairly simple upgrades to the 3D-glasses we already wear in movies.

I like the model of a pervasive field of consciousness where the brain is a tuner - receiver. We have the power to change our "consciousness tool".
