+ - blockchain based experential memory ::
+
+ - a hidden world of early life :: I imagine that the bridge form the
+      first life forms to even very simple single celled organisms was
+      probably very interesting and a lot more diverse than we give it
+      credit for. Unfortunately, I doubt that we're going to find any
+      good evidence for such creatures, since they don't seem like the
+      type of organisms that would preserve well. All sorts of really
+      neat delf replicating molecules and assemblies of molecules, and
+      we'd have no record of any of them. The only way to get an idea
+      of these types of life will be to make them again in the lab.
+
+ - brain insurance :: for the preserved brain
+
+ - remote control ants / pidgeons :: train/evolve them to want to
+      follow an EM gradient or magnetic field. put a camera on.
+
+ - musical neural inversion :: get a simple model of emotional and
+      auditory circuits, "invert" the model based on sound input, and
+      generate music with constrating satisfaction. Might find some
+      music that's simultaneously "alien" (lacking a top-down design)
+      yet still deeply emotionally coherent and satisfying.
+
+ - simulated fire :: for those who say that simulated water can't get
+      you wet, just see what happens if you attach your nerves to
+      simulated output of FIRE. I gaurantee you're going to have a bad
+      time. 
+
+ - use lasers to cut large plasticized brains ::
+
+ - gravity telescope the size of the solar system ::
+
+ - information bearing layer :: to find the spatial / logical scale of
+      the main information containing layer of an information storage
+      device, look at where correlated change happens, and then to see
+      if it's digital, look beyond that and see if the changes are
+      uncorrelated.

  - sperm fitness correlation :: it's evolutionary advantageous for a
       species' sperm to fail to function exactly when the fetus they
       would create would fail. But it's really hard to make this
