non-narrativity

if an animal

’

s life is worth

living without having a point and without being meaningful in any of the usual senses, then

perhaps a human life can also be worth living without that.

The more you build your self-conception

on memory, which is notoriously unreliable, and the more you try to give yourself an identity

by constructing a narrative of your life, the less likely you are to understand who and what

you really are.
