I want to be pickled and put on display in a giant jar.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell

If there is anything worth reusing fine, otherwise I want to be completely consumed by living things. I asked my wife to back pack my remains up to where wolves could get the first crack at me but then it was pointed out that an old drug and chemical infested human carcass is a pretty toxic thing. Now my ambitions are less lofty. Microbes, insects, worms .. basically whatever can stomach me will do. I just want these molecules that have served me so well to remain in play after me.

Science is like a blabbermouth who ruins a movie by telling you how it ends. There are some things we don't want to know. Important things.
