[ti:] [ar:] [al:] [00:00.00] 作曲 : Hodgson, Smith [00:04.30]We had this lecturer once who said that memory was the absolute key to identity. To who you are. [00:09.95]That there is no innate, natural, biological you who exists constantly. But instead, you wake up every morning and you have to remember who you are. [00:17.05]And like, you go through this process where you open your eyes and gradually you remember stuff about yourself. [00:21.86]Not emotions or feelings but actions. And as you remember the situations you've been in and how you reacted to those situations. [00:28.53]Then they all add up to how you behave through the course of the day. So there is no defined you as such. [00:33.35]Just what you did yesterday. And what you did ages ago as well. All these choices are what make you do or what you do. [00:38.61]There is no self as such. Just memories of who you've been. And then he showed us this bloody Tarkhovsky film. [01:07.06]But what I was thinking was that you could change yourself. If that was true,you could change yourself. [01:12.44]I mean, if you misremembered something, just one thing, on purpose, you'd be a different person. [01:17.76]If you convinced yourself that you never said that or you never punched him, then it would be gone and you'd be different. [01:22.98]And maybe, you'd be better. So years later I'm at work and I get this e-mail about some mundane shite. [01:29.32]I don't know, to do with photocopiers or something. And the person it was from had used an account other than their own. [01:34.53]So the from at the bottom was different to the from at the top. [01:37.24]And more than that, even though they'd actually typed my address with my name on it,they got my name wrong. [01:42.40]So reading this crap, from Julie or Steven and to Peter or Philip I couldn't help but think what the fuck am I doing here?
