If you were wise, you wouldn't do it all. The experiment rides on the idea of having permanent amnesia. This is simply not possible. If you get amnesia permanently in the future at time T, then you would observe the time to be at or later than T. Since you do not observe time to be at or later than T then you did not get permanent amnesia at T.

Now if death extinguishes consciousness, that is permanent amnesia and so your entire life has now been skipped over because you were not conscious at that time. You could not remember anything until after your death. Since you are conscious now, death cannot extinguish your consciousness.

Now, for all the readers--are you following my reasoning? Would you like more examples before I go on. Do you have any objections to what I've presented?
