Alternatives to Involuntary Death
Timothy Leary
Timothy Leary is at it again— challenging taboos. This
time it is DEATH. Tim says that our fears have been programmed to keep
us submissive to Authority. He asks: “Why should we died
involuntarily?” and gives us alternatives to involuntary death.
Let us have no more pious wimpy talk
about death. The time has come to talk cheerfully and joke sassily
about personal responsibility for managing the dying process. Dying is
the most fascinating experience in life. Approach dying the way you
live your life—with curiosity, hope, experimentation, and a little help
from your friends. Design your own death! The is nothing worse
than a factory assembly line death. The dying process is on of
total liberation.
Tim offers options for Re-Creational
Dying. Reprogram and take navigational control of dying. Install
your own pre-mortem plan for immortality. Brain preservation is an
option, which includes cloning, cryonic suspension, and brain banking.
There is also DNA storage.
Electronic immortality is within
reach of anyone with a camera and computer. Author your life and create
an immortality portfolio for personality data-base transmission.
Immortality is the next scientific
frontier. Mind-Consciousness to computer transfer. Become an
up-load. There are many benefits—no need to eat, for example. This is a
step to becoming posthuman. Future beings, who may not have any
physical form, will reside in the Matrix.
If you de-animate, there are numerous
options. Mummification preserves DNA along with appearance.
Cryonic suspension is an option if you hope to be re-animated sometime
in the future.
