Memories
Our lives are filled with memories. Are they valuable? Is it important to pass them along to the next generation?
Perhaps the sum of all our memories are what shape us a human beings, they shape our opinions of how the world works, and the links between different memories form a kind of neural network that underlies our intelligence. If we pass along our memories, will others who read them add our memories to theirs, and update their neural network? It seems wrong that memories would die with us. Others could benefit from them, especially our children and close friends.
