Eh, I’d always know who I am as a person… and who I was holds little value, frankly, because the past is the past. And it’s not like I’ve ever had a ton of control over my personality. I didn’t decide to be a pedantic nerd. I didn’t decide to have ADHD. I didn’t decide much about myself at all, really. I’ve simply gone along and gotten along. Also, “We’ve always done it this way” isn’t always useful.

It honestly sounds like a great recipe to being even more open-minded, avoiding zealotry and overly-conservative stick-in-the-mud-ness. What’s not to love?



Not gonna lie, I’d probably sign up for a clinical trial of this procedure, just to experience it. But the risk of something going wrong is significant.
