Strange Things Happen During Solar Eclipses, just look at what happened to Dougs

In San Jose California, one of the meteorites struck in Rosicrucian Park, right in the Akhenaten Shrine, where the cremated remains of the founder H. Spencer Lewis are interned. When the meteorite struck the ground started to give off a golden glow, for 30' in all directions. And since there have been accounts of H. Spencer Lewis being seen alive.

In Scottsdale Arizona one Ray Kurzweil had had about all he can take of this embarrassment Dougster living in their computing cloud via Google Immortality. It was getting so bad that it was threatening people's acceptance of Kurzweil's vision of the future, and hence starting to undercut their ability to maintain the huge influx of new money needed each day to keep the stock market at its present high.
So Kurzweil had loaded Dougster's remains, in his vacuum insulated, LN2 filled, mummy casket, onto a truck. He was driving out to a construction site where he intended to dump the frozen Dougster into an open pit, and then cover him over, presumably so he would defrost and rot.
But as he was lowering the cryogenic casket in a standing up position, down with the lift gate, it was struck with a meteorite. The casket started to give off a bright golden glow. A ring of bright light kept moving up and down it, and sending off lightning bolts in all directions.
Now Dougster, having pulled the lever himself, to start the ammonia purge of his blood stream, and the freezing, would not have undergone Information-Theoretic Death.

But once that ammonia hit his brain, he did go flat EKG and flat EEG.
But now, with the golden glow throbbing, all of a sudden the three latches burned off. And then LN2 started running out on the ground, and boiling vigorously. Then there was this smell from all the ammonia. Then the door burst open, and there was our Dougster, still in his signature top hat and tails. He steadied himself, and his mouth opened,
"Learn those investing skills early ... Look for industries not amenable to automation ... The market is undervalued, buy buy buy"
Kurzweil just took off running, and he has not been seen since. Dougster's clothes were all soaked with ammonia. Some how it must have gotten out of his circulatory system and come out right through his skin.
So now, no one knows how to explain this, or what to expect next.

And so Dougster, what was it like, being frozen for so long? No that you are back, are you really the same person?
SJG
That is, he and his people do that, but only when they are not stripped down to their underwear, crouched down below the level of the cubicle walls, scurrying about, looking for the chance to pop up and get someone in the back of the neck with a rubber band launched paper clip.
And as always with Dougster and his bros, its no women allowed.

A person is dead according to the information theoretic criterion if their memories, personality, hopes, dreams, etc. have been destroyed in the information theoretic sense. If the structures in the brain that encode memory and personality have been so disrupted that it is no longer possible in principle to recover them, then the person is dead. If they are sufficiently intact that inference of the state of memory and personality are feasible in principle, and therefore restoration to an appropriate functional state is likewise feasible in principle, then the person is not dead.

So Merkel is one of Kurzweil's people, out there at Moffett Field, Singularity U.
Is that really all we are, a web of neuronal synapses?

And then this long-term-potentiation?

Is that really all it is? So are you the same person you were before you cryogenic suicide? Is reanimation all it takes?.
Did Kurzweil end up having to download your sentience from Google Immortality (tm). Do you really believe that all we are is captured in this mechanical model?
SJG
Is that all we are, meshes if neuronal dendrites? When you were thawing out and started to approach 0 deg C, did water start to segregate out of your protoplasm and form ice crystals?
I would think that your dendrite web would have been shredded, and that you would have indeed then undergone what Ralph Merkel calls Information-Theoretic Death.
Do you think that Ray Kurzweil is a con artist? Do you think having him around will tarnish Google's reputation?
You know, people say that Kurzweil was going to let you thaw out and rot, because of the complete disapointment that Google Immortality (tm) turned out to be could have broken the stock market bubble.
