I adore the idea that Kirk does what he does because he simply cannot imagine doing anything else. That’s a simply incredible idea, and it’s one that Star Trek embraces again and again. Imagine if in the future, this is what humans were

The central move is to reconceptualise memory away from ‘a thing that is stored’ and towards ‘a process of revisiting a previous state’. That state is also not only neural, but a state of a body/brain/environment system
