Ostaisitko aivot tältä mieheltä?

Jonathon Keats kauppaa aivojaan, siis omaansa, sitä joka on hänellä korvien välissä.

His aim is immortality.

The idea is that Keats, 32, sells the rights to his brain, and with it his original thoughts, for perpetuity.

Because he is breaking new ground, Keats had to figure out how to mould his plan to fit the conventional rules of the financial markets.

He came up with a novel approach. Keats has registered his brain as a sculpture which he created thought by thought.

Earlier this month, would-be investors were given the chance to inspect it first-hand at a gallery in San Francisco, California, where Keats set up shop.


$10 investoinnilla saa option yhteen miljoonaan neuroniin. Keats omistaa tekijänoikeudet aivoihinsa kuolemaansa saakka. Sen jälkeen sijoittavat saavat ostaa miljoona neuroniaan hintaan $10,000. Saaduilla $60M:lla pidetään aivot hengissä.

Among the first buyers was writer Paulina Borsook.

"I think this is a brilliant idea," she says, "partly because the intellectual property wars are destroying all culture because everyone wants to own everything that ever existed. I think this is a wonderful kind of culture hack on that idea."


5 929 optiota on kuulemma vielä jäljellä, mikäli mietit mitä hankkia henkilölle, jolla on jo kaikkea! Toiset aivot!
