You have no recollection of your life as an infant, so it seems to you that one day you just pop into existence because you can't remember anything prior. So if one day all of our memories cease to exist, then how is it that we are living life now? Wouldn't it work the same way as it did as an infant? Where I would not remember all these years and just cease to exist? If that's the case then we shouldn't even experience ourselves as "alive". Thoughts?
You're fast forwarding in time for some reason. I'm living my life now. I haven't gotten to the part where I'll die and won't ever be capable of knowing I was once alive. The future isn't the here and now.
