As seen in the first episode series Caprica, quoth Zoe Graystone:
“(...) the information being held in our heads is available in other databases. People leave more than footprints as they travel through life; medical scans, dna profiles, psych evaluations, school records, emails, recording, video, audio, cat scans, genetic typing, synaptic records, security cameras, test results, shopping records, talent shows, ball games, traffic tickets, restaurant bills, phone records, music lists, movie tickets, tv shows… even prescriptions for birth control.”
I, for one, think that the meme-mix defining our identity in itself could capture (predict) our behavior in large parts, foregoing biographical minutiae. Bonesaw in Worm didn’t need precise memories to recreate the Slaughterhouse Nine clones.
Many think we can zoom out from atoms to a connectome, why not zoom out from a connectome to the memes it implements?
The main question is should we consciously write down our secret thoughts and child memories, hoping on better reconstruction in the future?
If some kind of reconstruction is inevitable, if AI will make some kind of simulations anyway, maybe it is better to provide it with as much correct information as possible?

But as it is said, do not generalize from fictional evidence.
