  What the article is talking of is a computer program that MIMICS a person and then followed by presenting the person's hologram as it the person is actually there. This, they, metaphoricaly call 'resurrecting the person'. But of course such is not a resurrection!! There is no need to worry about 'slaving the soul' or insisting that such a research be stopped because it is completely harmless! It is just like recording the voice of a human and then saying 'the dead person is still speaking'. Then taking the metaphor LITTERALY we begine worrying that 'they are trapping souls'!!

  SAN,
  
  No need to stop such developments because the developments are not what you think they are! You are failing to discern mere metaphors are ridiculous exaggerations presented in the article! Is an hologram of a person conscious? Nope! No more than a picture is! The hologram takes the information only pertaining to the SURFACE of the body. Even more, the reconstructed hologram is not the exact 'surface'. Holograms are just like pictures. The 'skin' appearing in a picture is not the same material as the real skin. It is inert chemicals and dies that merely looks like the skin. The picture has very remort chance of becoming like a real skin, with leaving cell etc. The same thing applies to hologram.
  
  However, we can, IN PRINCIPLE make a 'living hologram'. But I think such a technology is way into the future. When it comes, we must first check if you can reproduce a stone before you worry about reproducing a human, let alone their soul! You are worrying about something that be possible only in 6000 years to come!!

  I believe Rowan Atkinson foresaw the decline in humanity's intelligence; after Black Adder he created Mr. Bean and it worked. You saw the movie Idiocracy? LOL

  Fair enough Roaring...You have your list of do's and don'ts...We all do....I must suggest to you though, that "dark" does not mean evil...it simply means hidden or unknown, in the shade...For example, we call the dark cabal that, because, like a vampire, it withers in the Light....the glare of publicity would totally expose their agenda...Dark continent, likewise...In shadow, eclipsed...that's all is implied...
  Some words are in need of common use interpretations...Meaning the same for one, as the other...Sometimes, even English gets swayed by certain uses it is put to, by certain quarters...that may confuse other quarters..

  Drekx,
  
  But you must understand that I always tell pple not to used words in such a way as to cause ambiguity. I have wrote here over and over against:
  
  1.) Using 'energy' to mean 'spirit'
  2.)Using 'love' to mean 'God'
  3.)Using 'heart' to mean 'part of the brain'
  4.)Using 'left brain' to mean 'logical'
  5.)Using 'logics' to mean 'science'
  6.)Using 'Newtonian physics' to mean 'classic physics'
  7.)Using 'fear' to mean 'hatred'
  8.)Using 'dark' to mean 'evil'
  9.)Using 'nature' to mean 'not man made'
  The list is endless!!
  
  I am always for using exact words and I discourage metaphors as they cause confusions. There is nothing special about using 'black magics' to mean 'evil magics'. As you should see it joins a long list of incongruous usage of words that I always rail against!

  It is good to see Acute Observer back. Of course I disagree with him about the "cure." Please do tell us that you had both covid shots and intend taking a booster shot, every year, in perpetuity.....?? lol

  The people of Idaho seems to be listening to your antivax crusade. Their morgues are full of people who were afraid of the protection against the thing that killed them. ;)

  Pet said: "Drexk-The 'dark continent'? I'm not talking about skin color-self centered Satanic black magic vs 'Celebratory Magic' for the general good-as you know. Attack a child? Goes around..."
  
  Yes indeed. Of course, none of our commentary had race in mind. I did clarify to Roaring Lovely, why I use the term "Black Magician" and he appears to have removed his question. Actually I like questions, as he puts them, because they enable clarifications...Also, the term "dark continent," was used by European pioneers and globe sailing navigators, from various nations, including England, to describe a continent (Africa) who's vast interior had not been mapped and explored...The coastline had been recorded. But the interior unknown, so in darkness, in the shade, eclipsed....It simply meant, an unknown continent...No racial suggestions.
  
  Likewise, Antarctica was largely unknown by explorers, for centuries. Only waling ships ventured near it's vast coastline, seeing glaciers, snow and ice...In such circumstances, a description of "dark" would have seemed inappropriate, for that alternative unknown...As it is stark white in appearance...So they chose to call it the "frozen continent."
  
  BUT, they chose to call Africa "dark," for reasons described...innocent ones..
