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? |
