But what if, even so, you’re damaged. If the paramedics don’t get to you fast enough; if what needs to be done exceeds even our capacity for perfect repair; if your brain is just bluntly smashed up, the information in it gone however functional the repair may be. You’re never going to be the same person. No one is the same person from one day to the next, and an event like that will change you and that should be okay. But you will want continuity, and of course, it’s in the interest of the person you are now to reach out to that person and try to achieve some measure of continuance into them. Serial selfhood.
