Preserved Posterior

“I’m donating my body to science while I’m still alive.”
The Chemical Buddha saw himself as science friendly. Mainly because he dabbled in chemistry. Or at least that’s what he told the cops when they asked about his beakers, Bunsen burners, and wide array of chemical compounds. He was also a fan of physiology and even participated in drug experiments (some of which were actually legitimate). In his spare time he did self-studies on various drug interactions. And this does not include all of his studies into the effects of various acts of debauchery on his emotional, physical, and mental states. Of course, we’re not sure if any of his notes will help future scientists, because when he did document his reactions, they usually consisted of words like ‘wow, cool, dude, awesome, and fuuuuuck.’
Do you think future generations will care about what you’re doing today?
How might you try to rationalize your activities under some higher purpose?
