Probably not an original thought but:
It’s crazy how all of our memories and thoughts are just some particular assortment of chemicals and electric pulses sloshing away in our brain…. That they are an actual, physical thing that exists and takes up space and has mass.
So somewhere in there, there’s some little cul de sac of neurons (or whatever it is) that allows me to remember the gnarly, hairy mole on my 2nd grade teacher’s face. And another for watching my father drunkenly desecrate a Native American grave site.
I’m not some brain researcher, so I really don’t know what the fuck I’m talking about and might be making a bunch of wrong assumptions. But if all that shit I said was true, and if memories are at least partially made up of regular old atoms, does that mean that a memory weighs something? How many memories would a large Scandinavian gentleman have to deadlift on ESPN2 to win the title of world’s strongest man? If someone memorizes a bunch of shit, will they get a heavy-ass head? Is anyone still reading this?
