What to do with Epstein's brain?
So an unidentified associate of Epstein took possession of his body. Based on my past experience as an insider in the transhumanist movement, I would bet that what is happening right now is that he is being preserved for future reanimation by one of two methods. The first is more advanced than traditional Cryonics, in that freezing damage is eliminated with protective compounds that enable vitrification (low temperature long term storage where ice crystals are not formed). The other method is vitrifixation, in which preservation does not require low temperatures. This method would eliminate the need for expensive ongoing maintenance. He could be hidden easily, especially if he goes "neuro" (head only).
Attempting to "upload" right now, would probably require a destructive scan. You would have to see positive results in multiple human experiments to make that choice, and I have heard no knowledgeable chatter that that has been happening out of view.
Many of you reading this will react with the idea that the possibility of him being reanimated should be eliminated by the destruction of his brain or any scanning data collected. This would be a big mistake.
Epstein's brain may someday be scanned to retrieve "memory movies" which could answer many questions. His brain is possible vital evidence in many unsolved crimes. He may also have memorized passphrases to cryptocurrency fortunes that could provide victims with restitution.
Depending on the severity of his crimes, and if a justice system evolves that we can trust, it might be suitable to "torture" a virtual J.E. for what would seem like a few years or centuries. (Black Mirror has done a couple episodes on this).
Rehabilitation is also a possibility, as is him actually being innocent (very unlikely but still).
We have to start preserving evidence and the possibility of future punishment, restitution, rehabilitation. The possibility of consequence-free escape to the future, can be virtually eliminated, and the expense is minimal.
Too bad we probably didn't save McCain's brain -- those would be some wild memory movies. Also, preserving the brains of the pets of these folks, might also be a source of memory movies.
To anyone involved with preserving Epstein, know that you may one day be held accountable if you help him escape. You may be lauded and rewarded if you make his bio-memories available to help solve crimes and give some end to the torture of not knowing to families of unknown victims.
Please think about this without a gut reaction that Cryonics, Life Extension and Transhumanism are necessarily bad. Some of us are anti-cabal Voluntaryists!
