If you say (as I do) that we're actually immortal, the obvious question is - why don't I remember life before the one I'm living now? Well, of the 365 days you were 5 years old, I bet you'd struggle to remember 5 minutes of it. Do you remember all of the times you went to the toilet or put your shoes on, in 2018? Etc. We remember only the tiniest parts of the lives we live. Not remembering having lived forever isn't in itself an argument against immortality. And in fact this tiny amount we actually remember is also the reason we (mistakenly) think we're mortal, that time 'passes'. It's what makes us think there's a before, now, and after. Memory is what creates what we call 'time'. Memory is key, more on that later.
