I have many memories - 45 years worth. Some are wonderful, but not one stands out as my favorite. If I had one, would it be for sale if it meant that I would no longer felt the emotional impact of it…if it “no longer made me smile?” No, it would not. If I was willing to do that, then what’s next? Our thoughts, our experiences, are what shape us. Doing so would feel like more than just selling a moment in time.
Perhaps my favorite memory is yet to come…
I’ll trade you, one for one: you can take away my happiest ones…if you also take away my most unpleasant ones.
I’ve had plenty of good times but I don’t have cherished memories, per se.
How much memory are we talking about, anyway? Are we talking about the best blowjob of my life that probably lasted 20 minutes, or the week in the Caribbean when I got dive certified, drunk, did drugs, felt intoxicated in a good way, intoxicated in a bad way, scared shitless and weak, stung by a jellyfish, felt incredible, euphoric, exhilarated and proud? Cause that shit was all jumbled up between seven days over and underwater and I wouldn’t give up any of the good memories to forget the bad.
If you can really probe my hypothetical engrams for the memory that has the most profound and delightful emotional meaning to me, I might throw you a grand for the self-awareness value if you can tell me what it is. Other than that, I’m not interested.
Well, maybe as a buyer. Send me your brochure.
Weird. I don’t have memories like that. Maybe the couple times I did a job really well or the times I helped someone?
My happy memories of people I love and the experiences i loved having are not singular. I could easily miss one nature walk, one weekend spent with my friend, one time I read a bed time story to my kid, one time i loved a book or a nap or having sex, or laughing, or learning something. I have so many of those, i wont miss a couple.

It’s not weird at all. Memories in a vacuum are kind of worthless, unless they’re prurient and even those are pretty worthless without a personal connection between the subject of remembrance and the buyer. And anything like that is creepy as hell.
I think Rhymer Enterprises is going to take a bath on this one. I’m shorting the stock at opening tomorrow.

This won’t end well.
I’d be interested in negotiating with Rhymer Enterprises over how much I would pay to remove some bad memories. Might be more lucrative for the firm.

My point, and I did have one, was that the 60% share is way too much to expect anybody to go for, given that your contribution is not unique.
