You’re you. You have the memories of “you”. Your childhood, your friends, your struggles, favourite songs, highschool embarrassments, future dreams. Your thoughts are the reflections of your observations of the world around you.
But we also know that one, many, or all of these sensations can be false. Hallucinations can cause any one of our senses to report feeling, hearing, or seeing something that isn’t there. Cognitive diseases can make us forget memories that serve as core pillars of our personality or even create new, fake memories that nonetheless feel real to us.
