very interesting response!

You are arguing that once we can hack our biology via nuralink and nanobots we will no longer rely on traditional media consumption to entertain us/make us happy? Or you are saying we won't need happiness eventually? I disagree and don't understand. Why won't we still want happiness? You are also making the big leap that we can indeed move our consciousness out of our body, I think it is likely it will be a copy of our consciousness rather than us. Obviously its a big point of contention but you are making a big leap IMO that we will no longer want to be happy and do crave things that bring us happiness.

I think that consciousness has no inherent nature of happiness or sadness. Happiness and sadness are the subject of the brain, these feelings of happiness and sadness were developed during evolution so that living beings are motivated to do the actions which increase their survival value. These feelings are created in the brain. When we don't have a human body in the post singularity era, we will not crave for happiness anymore.

I totally agree with this point. I just have been feeling less optimistic lately about our chances of transcending our human bodies and still be conscious.
