Your ability to think of yourself as an agent in the world, working across time to achieve goals and construct an identity, depends fundamentally on your memory. Without memory you are not a person, but a sack of meat flailing hopelessly in response to external stimuli. This is why Alzheimer's is such a horrifying disease.

Been thinking about this a lot lately since my ability to remember names has gone down the tubes in the last year and there's a history of early-onset Alzheimer's in my family.

No doubt. It's also why Alzheimers fascinates me. Once memory goes, what left is there? One's entire "mind" can neither be reconstituted nor a new one built from scratch, if his memory doesn't work.

I was watching some Youtube videos of people with Alzheimers not long ago, it's really... weird to look at.

A life is like a film. Having Alzheimer's is like someone cut apart the reel and put it back together out of order, splicing in delusions and hallucinations for good measure. You become not a coherent being but a collection of disconnected snapshots.

memory is being. something that retains no memory has no existence in time. something that doesn't extend itself beyond a single immediate moment isn't much different from one of those quantum particles that physicists say are constantly being created and destroyed all around us to no great import.

Memory is an illusion. So are the past and future. Causality, too. This thread is rife with naive folk beliefs about consciousness.

no, but you're right that memory is an illusion as is causality, but identity is an illusion in much the same way.

Losing the ability to retain memory, even though it in itself is an illusion, is significant because it destroys the illusion of identity.
