I had a really good idea on how to advance the knowledge of the human race. Involves brains and neurons.

I wrote down my thoughts as they came to me and here's the text:

But what if when you die your neurons still have your memories. That way you could get the memories of dead people like einstein or newton. Maybe by the structure of the neurons. Because I think that neurons rearrange themselves while you're alive. But if you're dead they'll stay the same way until they decompose. Actually yeah they're probably decomposed. But maybe you could get the last memories of lenin because he is preserved. If someone really smart dies like carl sagan or stephen hawking we should do an mri scan to see their memories . Of course this would come with embarrasing things too but maybe it's worth it for the benefit of science. Maybe they could have a choice wether they want their knowledge downloaded. Some scientiests would choose to because they would realize that a bit of emmbarasement here or there is worth advancing the knowledge of the human race. Because in the long run, that's what matters.
