Date: December 14th, 2015 5:53 PM Author: bonkers cerebral old irish cottage scourge upon the earth 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. |

One's entire "mind" can neither be reconstituted nor a new one built from scratch, if his memory doesn't work. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3070318&forum_id=2#29379457) |

Date: December 18th, 2015 1:26 PM Author: Multi-colored Mood Principal's Office 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.
