I used to believe that as you lived your life your brain saved everything you ever saw, thought, or felt like a sort of special video camera. I thought that when you died all your friends would have access to these by sitting around and watching the TV with your body plugged in. I made sure not to think any bad thoughts about my close friends because I know they would be upset when they heard my think it when I was dead!
