Have you ever thought what you’re leaving behind for the next generation? Whenever the conversation of legacy comes up, there are often two tracks of conversation: 1) the physical objects we make or the stuff we accumulate, and 2) the impact we have on others (financially, relationally, or emotionally). But last week, during my interview with philosopher Mark Rowlands about his new book, The Word of Dog: What Our Canine Companions Can Teach Us About Living a Good Life, we got on the subject of digital immortality. I haven’t stopped thinking about it and thought, “What a great topic for episode 800 of Getting Work To Work.” Given the staggering amount of data we generate in a lifetime at what point could we be recreated and resurrected into digital form? We probably wouldn’t be conscious ourselves, but to those around us, would they even know? Would they even care? So many questions, so little time. Let’s get into it.
