Young Neurons in an Old Brain
Very thought provoking. Some thoughts:
1. William Gibson has a really cool short story involving "editors" whose vocation involves editing what are essentially "brain-dumps" from individuals, to be "rented" for entertainment. It's a reminder that the editing problem would be huge, have you ever tried to watch someone's raw unedited home video footage, much less their every experience?
2. This is an argument in favour of the arts. This is after all how we humans (arguably best) communicate our experience to others.

You would rent an experience lived by someone and plug-in. 2. This is an argument for the arts, the (arguably best) way we humans communicate experiences to each other.
