Richard_Kennaway comments on For what X would you be indifferent between living X days, but forgetting your day at the end of everyday, or living 10 days? (terminally)

[Richard_Kennaway]

Specifically, why would you require a very large X? Shouldn’t you value value both possibilities at 0, because you’re dead either way?

No, because I’m alive now, and will be until I’m dead. Until then, I have the preferences and values that I have.
