Why the "You" in an Afterlife Wouldn't Really Be You - Scientific American
'At that moment, each would take a different path in life, thereby recording different memories based on different experiences. “You” would not suddenly have two POVs. '
'Memory is not like a DVR that can play back the past on a screen in your mind. '
'Memory is a continually edited and fluid process that utterly depends on the neurons in your brain being functional. '
'But a copy of your memories, your mind or even your soul is not you. '
'Third, your unique identity is more than just your intact memories; it is also your personal point of view. '
