What must it feel like to have amnesia? What does your sense of time become?
Is the whole of our world just collective amnesia?

They matter because they're the exact same lives as the one you're living right now
Thus your present life matters and you better make the best of it because it's going to be eternally recurring for, well, eternity

christ I'm not going to believe that. Imagine being aborted so you're literally just being brutally killed over and over again

If it repeats for eternity it has for the very least happened many times before and nothing you do matters since if it's the same every time you can't change anything. Saying you should make the most of it doesn't make any sense in this case.

You actually can subconsciously, but rarely ever remember them clearly. For me a lot of Hindu icons come off as familiar even though I was raised protestant

they don't
Only at the twilight of the cycles, when you will remember everything, when guilt and shame takes you to Tartarus.

you can't rememer most of your early childhood and yet you'd be stupid to say those formative experiences were fundamental to you

when you decide that your life doesn't matter, you aren't deciding for just this instance of this recursion, you make the same choice in every recursion. Would you rather try and fail repeatedly or die each time without having lived?
