The Passing of Knowledge

[MalReynolds]

We all have brains, even if we don't seem to use them all the time. We all have bodies that live and breathe, even if we're lazy bums. We all watch TV, or read books or swim and run. We all learn.

But, that's the thing. We all learn. We all absorb knowledge into our bloodstream, our system and our brains. Bear with me, it's about to get a little odd.

All concious thought occurs in the brain and all knowledge is stored in the brain. The law of the convervation of mass states that matter cannot be created or destroyed... So everything in our brain that makes us us, our knowledge and our personalities are stored herein, the brain.

When we die, the knowledge does not just exit the brain in a fluid motion out the ear, it remains in the brain until the brain biodegrades. Then the knowledge we have is passed into the dirt, along with the rest of the nutrients that our bodies provide... The nutrients make the soil rich in protiens and other vital elemants to ensure the survival of life outside of our own...

But our thoughts, personality and knowledge with our brain seep into the dirt as well. All around where you are buried, there are remnants of you, not just inside the coffin. In the dirt around you.

Soon, a worm comes along and eats the dirt around your coffin. It is rich with protiens and you. Your thoughts. The worm takes the food in, absorbs the protiens, and absorbs your thoughts, although not conciously.

The worm breaches the ground and is picked up by a bird. The bird eats the worm, and digests the information that you have left behind. It flys, and graces the land with it's natural fertilizer. The grass grows with your knowledge.

A cow eats the grass, and absorbs your thoughts. The cow is then led into a slaughterhouse, where it is killed and made into all kinds of beef products. Some of which are sent to a pregnant mother who is eating for two. She eats the cow, digests this food, and then passes some nutrients and free thought onto her child.

This child now has some of the knowledge you did.

I think this affects us today, but I will get into it more depending on the reaction to this initial post. I've considered this a lot, and it also... Explains things, like people with similar personalities, people with... Other problems, etc etc.

Just think about it.

You, the originator of knowlege, die. You decompose. A worm eats your dirt. It gets eaten by bird, bird shits your knowledge. A cow eats your knowledge, and it is passed on to a mother and her unborn child.

Just don't knock this yet.
