You mean... Kind of like living? Are you the same now as you were a year ago? I find it scarier to think that my personality might become static! Plasticity is the ability to learn new things.

No, it’s kind of like living when you are 4 years old. Very different than when you’re 40.

Well, no, and that's the point! It's not like living, it's an alteration to the natural course of life. Whether it's without negative consequences or not remains to be seen.

Um, yeah and forget old things ...
This is kinda the nature of life. I struggled with depression until my mid-late 20s. At 35, my high school years seem like a blur - my college years are starting to feel the same. I'm pretty ok with this.
We'll just have our trusty robot companions remember our entire lives and remind us as we go.

It'll be _perfect_.
