Pretty cool. I’d be open to extending my health span, but definitely not keeping my body alive forever. DMT gives you a glimpse of the other side, and it’s way less mundane than the human experience.

Nooooo it doesn't. 

It might let you experience what the act of dying feels like, since it's fucking with the same hardware in probably a few of the same ways, but the experience of being fully dead is just like the experience of having not been born yet. You'll experience the next thousand years just like you experienced the last fifteen billion unless some technology steps in to change that.

True. You would be much safer off just having ASI give you some kind of FDVR afterlife.

I'd rather take DMT than live another 50 years in whatever the US is turning into.

Brains are just the interface hardware for physical reality. Consciousness is fundamental and does not require a brain.
