This sound like one of those, my life sucks I wish I was Justin Bieber threads.

Why do you want to teleport into someone else?

Hey, it was based from a feeling. I'm not in control of a feeling I got a good while back. But hell, now that I give it further thought, I find it not bad at all if it does happen since life sucks for me right about now. I'd rather be rich and/or powerful than poor and pratically broke.

If I became RP would you vote for me for POTUS? Though I wish I'd become Trump since he is rich. But the feeling came because I was watching/listening to RP. So... Beats me who I'd end up being.

So you want the wealth and power. I feel that there is much more to life than having wealth and power but to each his own.

I dont think that he meant it literally.

If you could literally live someone else's life out I bet you wouldn't pass on it because of what in all you can achieve.

Well then you don't know me. Name anyone in the world, if you gave me the chance right now, I wouldn't take it. If you offered me $1,000,000,000 right now this second I wouldn't accept it. But my values and thoughts are very different than most people, so it's not like you would've known. But in the future I would be careful about making assumptions

Would be an interesting way to become immortal if you could figure out how to make it work. As long as memory remains intact, and your next host is younger and healthier than the body you left such that you can achieve some purpose. Of course such a power may be too tempting for corruption, unless some other aspects of human condition can be brought to bear. (Literally living life as others might serve to keep that tempered.) Many would also consider such action evil by its nature, particularly if you're depriving another person unwilling to trade their own life in this regard.

Also has aspects of transhumanism. If minds could be connected in a Borg-like fashion, consciousness may be able to live out on the cloud. Of course we're not exactly close to figuring out how to directly wire two organic brains from two distinct organisms to each other. Might be an interesting lab project, even though it has those creepy aspects of losing oneself to the hive mind.

Either of these ideas would be a great foundation to build a plot-line in some sci-fi or fantasy work. Maybe that's the real goal here? (See how well it floats.) Other than the "Quantum Leap" series or the kooky plot twist that shows up in some cartoons, it doesn't seem like it has been done much or covered with a more serious regard.

Of course some would argue that we're already immortal via reincarnation or something of the such, just that we don't get any obvious benefit or retention of the past-life memory. Some would vouch for karma, but that only leaves people wondering what the heck they did in the supposed past-life while too easily putting up with crap during this lifetime in hopes that the supposed next-life is better. The philosophy of this is nice, but just leaves room for more questions and wondering what the point of it is.

This exact idea was the storyline in the movie "Being John Malkovich".
www.imdb.com...

They found a little door and when you went through it, you found yourself inside Malkovich's head. He then had control over him as well as his physical sensations. Pretty good movie.
