Here's an immoral one: crack a rationalist
Most, if not all, human minds are vulnerable to hacking, eg by cults, religions, pseudoscience, etc. The minds of rationalists should be harder to hack than others.
Make a copy of a (would-be) rationalist, subject the copy to significant emotional stress, and then send missionaries his way.
The myths carried by the missionaries should be invented for the challenge so everyone can agree that they are false, but should, of course, be significantly more plausible than today's religions.
Moral qualms aside, we should probably have a back-up plan just in case we don't solve human uploading before we want to start testing.
