It's not a fantasy. OK, but It probably won't be any better for me than we are for the chimps. The survival rate of my own DNA will not improve, and that's what I am programmed to do.

<Neurons are just too absurdly slow, based on wet chemistry and not much storage space, to function in the thinking and remembering department other than as a local node in the big scheme of life. Watch Google do some remembering, see Deep Blue play chess [that used to be considered the height of human intellectual power which mere bit switching couldn't do]. We have already been left in the evolutionary dust.> ROFLMAO!!! No, just the opposite... being lost in a chess game isn't living! Memory isn't living! It's the anti-living! Sitting in your easy chair for hours... in your mind contemplating terrorism in the world today isn't living!! It's mental masturbation, self-importance, a pompous waste of time! Doing the dishes or eating dinner totally lost in the mind with thinking how and what to answer CB regarding some intellectual mumbo-jumbo isn't living!!! It's being lost in the past and future. You guys got it backwards, this is anti-zen... it is the rehashing of old shit you've taken in based on yesterdays fixed paradigm of the mind... the ego spewing bullshit in the name of intellectualism, hearing and seeing nothing real, lost in the home movie playing at the 'in-head home theater'... while the bird outside the window sings a profoundly beautiful song carried lightly in the breeze to those who.... would listen.
