You make a good point. We all might be being copied and deleted in our sleep every night, for all we know.
There'd be no way to know anything even happened to you as long as your memory was copied over to the new address with the rest of you. It would be just a gap in time to us, like a dreamless sleep.
Old post but...if it's just memory, you'd lose ttauma and other ingrained coping mechanisms, no? There's no brain to try and fight back against things. Just memories making you...you...? Or not you, if you oose some of your behaviors?
