- Data After Death: How Our Legacy Can Live Into Infinity
Every time a person departs, it feels like a library engulfed in flames, with precious knowledge lost forever. But what if we could use blockchain to preserve this treasure trove of wisdom? Instead of succumbing to the fate of forgotten memories, Ben Peeri explores multi-generational preservation , meticulously safeguarding every individual’s knowledge and memories. This virtual haven unlocks the true potential for legacy in the digital realm, granting us a glimpse of immortality that our world has long yearned for.
Could it offer us the power to carry our essence across centuries, inspiring future generations with our experiences, insights, and cherished moments? Data After Death: How Our Legacy Can Live Into Infinity

I like that he addressed how each interaction we have with a new person creates a new avatar. I think this is a part of identity that most people don't really understand.
Fascinating concept! Imagine a world where our consciousness lives on through technology.
Fascinating talk. I’m always takes millions of photos of my kid, but never thought about maybe adding another way of preserving our family memories.
I like that there's a balance within this between memory preservation and privacy concerns. The way technology is evolving is so crazy to me, we've come so far in the last 25 years so it feels right that we should be thinking about safeguarding
the idea that each person is like a unique universe of experiences is so beautiful. it makes you realize how special and irreplaceable everyone is.
I appreciate the subtle CTA within this and I agree, we should be recording life moments not just visually but in the nuanced narratives of feelings, thoughts, and ambience.
The analogy of the child on the carousel is a thought-provoking illustration of the subjective nature of memories and the challenge of preserving rich sensory experiences.
I love the idea of capturing the sensory details. Photos and videos only capture so much. The smell of a loved one, the touch - those are the things that truly stay with us.
One of the things I wish i could capture is also tastes. If i could only "feel" again the smells and tastes of the meals my grandmother used to cook me when i was a kiddo coming back from school. Priceless
The notion that each interaction creates a unique persona of us in someone else's mind is mind-opening. It really highlights the importance of every conversation and encounter.
The idea about using blockchain for multi-generational preservation is pretty fascinating! It could really open new avenues for safeguarding our collective wisdom across time.
The blockchain portion ensure the data ownership reminds , where cloud providers take ownership and just provide access. Thus your data is aways at jeopardy
This is such an incredible innovation. I instantly thought of a dear friend whose husband passed away so unexpectedly. They had two very young children and the way my heart broke thinking of them growing up and not knowing him was just so much... this sort of thing would be such a treasure to people in similar circumstances.
The story about the his grandfather and the urgency of preserving memories hit close to home. It's a powerful reminder that we're more than just physical beings ❤
This raises a lot of really interesting questions about the essence of self in a digitized context and I am HERE FOR IT. Honestly it's only a matter of time before things like this and more extreme versions start happening so let's start having these conversations too!!
I think this is why it's so important to have a creative outlet while you're alive. IMO when we observe art we get a real sense of the person who created it. That's where their "thoughts and consciousness and unique personalities" are really on display.
Always love hearing a personal story amidst all the rest, makes a talk far more relatable and enjoyable. Thank you for sharing your stories! It's very interesting to think about all of this, especially the part about how you're a different version of yourself for every person you've met.
imagine being able to connect with and learn from people across generations through their preserved memories. that's the kind of future i want to be a part of.
this talk brings together so many different fields - tech, philosophy, ethics, religion. it just shows how interconnected everything is.
There's a lot of emotional depth in this talk, enjoyed it but wasn't prepared.
A person's essence, I think is unique to everyone who has a relationship with them. That would live on with each person.
He is so right about the unpredictability of life, we need to make every moment count and think about the legacy we want to leave
At the end of the day, this talk is really about the power of human connection and our desire to leave a lasting impact on the world. that's something I think we can all relate to.
to start recording moments of our lives in a more comprehensive way is inspiring. It encourages us to think beyond just photos and videos.
I think there are a lot of philosophical questions that arise from the discussion about defining life and death in the context of digital representation and consciousness.
Digital legacy is the future, couldn't agree more.
Digital eternity is such a compelling topic! The idea that our digital footprints can serve as a legacy is both intriguing and slightly daunting... Makes you think about what you're putting out there for sure!
I like that this talk goes into the privacy concerns within preserving memories. Not a lot of people talking about that aspect yet.
Fascinating. It's incredible to think we can leave behind more than just memories, but actual parts of our essence for future generations.
Congrats Ben. Very interesting this concept of 3 deaths.
The concept of leaving a living dynamic representation is really interesting! I feel like there are a lot of layers within this but obviously it would definitely transcend the boundaries of conventional remembrance.
The three deaths concept really got me thinking. What does it mean to truly live on? Is it in the memories, the impact we've had, or something more profound?
man, this talk really got me thinking about life and death in a whole new way. also just the concept of legacy and what we're leaving behind. interesting stuff
I feel blessed for getting the opportunity to discuss such an important message. Even if i got a single person to act on preserving who they are and what they are its like 'saving' (storing) an entire universe by itself .
The concept of digital personas is super interesting because you don't really decide your identity, that comes from peoples experiences of you. So to have the kind of control over your digital legacy would be pretty interesting
Fascinating talk Ben! Very thought provoking. The digital preservation potential is infinite
this was super enlightening for me. I’m going to start thinking about this for myself and for my family.
Great talk. It is interesting the ways we continue and transform and continue up to, and past the event of our body ceasing to function.
Challenging our perceptions of existence is always a worthy endeavor.
I like that acknowledges how we can be a different version of ourselves with every person we meet. This is something I don't think a lot of people "get"
Great talk Ben - got us all thinking about this! Keep it up!!
This is so cool to think about! Love these out of the box uses for the emerging tech
Wow we're really living in the future aren't we? So many points of interest/debate in this one.
Love how this explores beyond physical existence.
The idea of preserving our essence beyond physical existence isn't new but this talk really challenges us to think beyond traditional ways of remembering loved ones.
This is amazing! Such a good use of the way tech is developing.
I'm really intrigued to see this in action! Could be very beneficial to those who lost a parent at a young age.
I agree, if there are more sophisticated ways of recording memories we should be using then. There's only so much that can be captured in a photo or video.
The part about the subjective nature of memories really got me thinking... It would be confronting to see a tangible recording of a memory for that reason
Always nice to have memories! Well done !
What a unique take on legacy and immortality.
There's something sacred about the natural cycle of life and death. Trying to preserve every detail might detract from the beauty of impermanence.
I dont think it is possible to save 'every' detail, but what if we can save 'some' details behind ? Perhaps when we die we can preserve a small piece of ourselves for prosperity
Sorry for the loss of your grandfather, I know how it feels when you've missed those key moments in the passing of a loved one and it does make it harder to grieve, I don't care what anyone says
Amazing! It is something to think about, well presented
This really challenges the conventional views on life, death, and legacy. Using technology to preserve our identity is a groundbreaking concept.
I think the survey from Stanford University shows a collective yearning for deeper connections.
This is really cool stuff. So much potential use if this took off in terms of knowledge and experience from the greats
Great talk Ben! A lot to think about
It's crazy to think that technology has the power to redefine even death and therefore, how we live life
Remember Forever
Preserving a loved one's sensory details appeals to me. The distress of losing them would be minimized somewhat.
It's pretty easy to understand why he went down this road of thinking in terms of missing those final moments with his grandfather
Wow cool very fascinating
Super interesting!
Blockchain for preserving memories is genius!
It's very interesting Ben.
I think this is a really cool idea!
Practical question: How feasible is all this? We're talking about preserving everything from DNA to scent. Sounds like a logistical nightmare.
I wonder how being able to access and relive memories would change the way we grieve and process loss. it's a heavy question.
The questions of consciousness are interesting. I think we are just threads of one collective consciousness. When we die our thread goes back to the source. It's not gone it's just not in a body for the time being. Maybe digitizing that would mess with things somehow
Imagine being able to leave behind a living, breathing version of yourself for future generations. that's some sci-fi level stuff right there.
Personally I'm into this idea. I don't think there's enough re-examination of philosophy with modern context in mind
This would make for some really beautiful memorials but not sure how healthy it would be beyond that? If we go by the saying that grief is love you can't express, but you are expressing it with this digitized version of a loved one... well I don't know. I guess a lot of human behaviour is changing though so maybe this is just another one of those things.
Interesting talk, but let's be real. Once the body dies, that's it. No amount of digital tinkering can change that. Let's focus on making the most of the time we have now
Preserving consciousness? Let's focus on defining it first
Would you mind sharing your definition and\or understanding on what consciousness is ?
Yeah I don't know about this one lol obviously death is a huge part of the human experience and I think societally speaking we already deal with it so, so poorly. People can become so consumed by their grief without understanding that they just need to find a new outlet for the love they have for that person and if there's some kind of digital version of that person I think it could make things a lot worse
I'm sorry but the opening of this "when you did are you truly dead?" lol yes. Yes you are. Living in someones memory or ever preserved digitally is not the same as living it's like a ghost run or an echo, the same every time.
Wow there is a lot to unpack here. I think this kind of thinking comes from a pretty unhealthy relationship with death that our society just doesn't want to acknowledge. Death is a part of life. Knowing someone will die and your time is finite makes you cherish them so much more. Imagine if this becomes the "normal" thing in the future where you know you can still hear, see, smell your loved one even after they're gone.
Why are we even trying to preserve these things though? Experiences should be _experienced_ and then we move on to the next thing.
where do we draw the line between life and death in the digital age? it's a question that's gonna keep me up at night.
Kind of want to when I go, just go, if you know what I mean...
i came here for unlock the link in crome brouser they say watch this video for 10 seconds
Not sure I like the thought of certain memories living on forever hahaha
True. Some memories should not be preserved, sometime people do mistakes. Cementing these mistakes for generating is not always a good thing , forgetting (data purge) is also something important as not all data should live forever
ok but why though?
Okay but... does this mean he thinks everyone has the right to still have their consciousness around and influencing the world? Because I don't know what that looks like realistically.
Sure, the talk is intriguing, but let's not play god with technology. There are ethical implications we're not even close to understanding. We should tread carefully.
