Yeah, I mean, there must be a range, but I do think that it's pretty deep.

And I think...

there's also a difference between the autobiographical me and then this more fundamental me that, that we're talking about where that I'm pointing to as the illusion.

So, um, in my book, I talk about if someone, um, wakes up with amnesia, if they have a brain injury and suddenly have amnesia and can't remember anything about their lives, can't remember their name, don't recognize people they're related to.

Um,

they would have lost their autobiographical self, but they would still feel like an I. They would still have that basic sense of I'm a person.

I mean, they'd be speaking that way.

I don't remember my name.

I don't know where I live.

You still, it goes very deep, this feeling that I am a single entity that is somehow not connected

completely reliant upon the cause and effect of the physical world.

I can't answer that.

Well, one is intellectual and one is psychological, really.

I mean, I would have to choose the memories only because I mean, memories of the past.

Yeah.

Only because I have children and a family and it would just be it wouldn't just be affecting me.

It would be affecting them.

It would just be too horrible.

If I lost my memory of the 13 past years.

Oh, wait, wasn't that the question?
