the ability to scan one's brain to unlock all the memories that i hope are still stored in there, uses would be things like knowing exactly how many times you've sneezed, how many sandwinches you've eaten, how many total minutes spent hiccuping, and you take the information and compare your stats with friends

Here's the thing. You are all trillion of your features, but you are mostly an informative subset of maybe a million. You drop a verse of shakespeare from your memory and you'd essentially be the same person.

Your memories don't encode every single thing that has happened to you, they encode blurry snapshots of fast-decaying events and flatten them over time depending on importance, filling in the blanks with other parts of your mind (made with other blurry decaying events).

If you thought AI was bad at hallucinating events, be glad you cannot ask your brain direct questions

Or hide the parts we want to forget and breathe normally for a few days.

The deaths of certain people.

Human extinction. Thankfully, climate change exists, and will very likely be the end of us if we don't blow ourselves up sooner.

Okay, you first /s

Human's have done some impressive things. We're unravelling the mysteries of the universe and building some amazing tech. Yes, a powerful few of us have done some horrific things, to ourselves and to the creatures we share our home with, but I don't think it was all for nothing if that's what you're getting at.
