By the author's own admission, his arguments against why we won't be uploading our minds only apply over "the next few decades," which is the usual bait-and-switch employed when someone decrees a technology impossible. Of course we won't be doing any such thing within the next few decades; however it's very likely that we will have such a capability within the next few centuries, let alone millennia.

Which may come too late to benefit us PERSONALLY, but would still be of vast benefit to the human race of that future time.
