Huh, maybe I'm wrong. Nonetheless the human brain is imperfect in the way we don't have absolute control over it. You can't willingly think "Man, this right here is perfect. I want to remember this exact scene perfectly." We've almost got our own AI, that deletes what it thinks it doesn't need (as deemed by evolution) and remembers what it thinks is key to our survival and success in reproduction (as deemed by evolution). How cool would it be to truly access the full potential and functionality of every bit of our brain the way we can manipulate the root files of a computer? Again though, are we still 'us' if we can do that?
