Open Questions and Challenges

With this exploration, I started to really question our memories and consider what is truly valuable to capture and remember and what should continue to be forgotten. At first, I thought in terms of how our brains have evolved over thousands of years to develop the most advanced filtering mechanism for information. And so, my first question was: why do I need to remember all of it? This resulted in me focusing on the things I have a hard time remembering which are intentions. I was also really interested in exploring collective intentions, and how groups make internal commitments with each other.

On the other hand, I would like to explore digital memory in the other direction. For the memories my brain filtered out, is there still a way that data can be useful and provide some sort of value even if that value is not for me? And when I say value, I mean provide some sort of social value that pushes for positive good in the world. If the data is already being collected and stored somewhere, it may be worth considering potential use cases for that information in a way that can benefit others.
