What are we but a collection of memories? Not much. A body, some desires, occasional suffering and joy.

The memories give context to everything else. Change them, and you change everything.

This is why my chronic illness is so terrifying. It's in my brain. Literal brain damage. It's being treated, but I wake up every day with a low lying terror that I have forgotten something important.

Hijacking a plane wouldn't be enough. Plane highjackings were nothing new. They were even common back in the 60's. Conventional wisdom was you cooperate with the highjackers. They have to land eventually.

Nobody anticipated suicide highjackers.

This is a serious part of the problem. Home insurance, car insurance, can be bad, but at least you don't usually have to deal with them. You can go years without needing anything from your home insurance.

You WILL need healthcare, minimum once a year. Most people need it every month or every few months. Your car insurance doesn't pay for your oil changes or new tires because those are guaranteed maintenance costs, not unexpected emergencies.
