"Now that every cell in your brain knows what it has to do in the sense that we know it and we're providing it, your brain cells don't need to be in your head at all anymore, right? The only reason they're next together, wired together, is to affect each other, to stimulate or inhibit each other, but we don't need that anymore, because optogenetically we're providing the energy pattern as long as needed, we're providing the effect of the communication, they don't need to be connected anymore, they don't need to be in your head. I could spread your neurons all over the continent, all over the galaxy, and I could still provide same stimulus pattern ... and somewhere [there you'd be] feeling that subjective feeling."
Optogenetics is a biological technique to control the activity of neurons or other cell types with light. This is achieved by expression of light-sensitive ion channels, pumps or enzymes specifically in the target cells.

which is a worse idea; colonizing mars or putting your brain cells outside your head?
Horrible theoreticians behind these "projects"

colonizing mars is evil. it's a good excuse to prioritize capitalism and to forget taking care of our own planet. and guess what. it's totally untenable. it's abhorrent.

This planet, this solar system will not last forever. We need to ensure the survival of our species, and this is the best way. One step at a time.

do we need to ensure the survival of our species? and is these actually the best way? or might this speed up the process?
