Our DNA determine our forcible coming into court , the reasoning goes , and our predisposition to various illnesses , and roleplay a part in our universal disposition and science set . All of that has been passed down to us through countless generations . So why not memories ?
It sounds far - fetched , but there are still immense swaths of genic code whose purpose is unknown . And the evolutionary advantages of get memories passed down — even one as simple as “ FIRE BAD”—are overwhelmingly exculpated . Will we be capable to tap into those retentiveness any time presently ? Probably not . But one day some generation might . And when they do , they ’ll see incisively how that great - great - gravid - grandpa Brian spent all his free clock time on cheeseflower snacks and 90s sitcom rerun . [ American Chronicle ]
Memory [ Forever]is our week - tenacious thoughtfulness of what it really means when our memories , encode in bits , flow in a million directions , and might truly live forever .
