I'd offer your 20-something self as a counterpoint.

And I've still made it through, right?

But if you had this tabula rasa, there's still you.

I think so.

I think so because there's that biological, even if you don't remember it.

But the twist on it would be, can I get one page of wisdom from my old self?

Well, this, this kind of amnesia scenario is interesting because there's the, what you actively remember and you could recount, but then there's the, the, the, the chips that have been burned in that, that allow you to still move as a 25 year old in the world.

That's right.

And one more, they took me to the hospital and they accidentally gave me a 10 X overdose of morphine with one lung working.

I felt like I'd been run over by a couple more trucks.

But my mind has flushed those.

It's done a selective version of what you're talking about.

And maybe it's for the better.

And even that whole period of recovery, months of recovery, it's still kind of hazy.

So I kind of chose to take this as, hey, I'm lucky.

Like I could have been dead.

And you know and I'm not and so now what do I what do I do with you know with this year?

So like, you know, there's some of that that you choose to be grateful But I think there is an adaptive thing in the human mind that was operating there of like, you know All of that pain that maybe that's not adaptive to keep it all But but I kept the if you could take the emotional pain out of it, but still keep the lesson gratitude So like, you know, I feel like I kind of came out, you know more than whole and

So, but I don't have the explicit memory of all the pain.

Well, that comes down to, you know, that's one of the questions about youthful vitality and like what's the health span and so forth, right?
