Still kinda means you can reset your current crap life and hope for a better future one, even if you don’t get to remember everything about the previous one(s). I mean, I’d personally argue it’s functionally different lives at that point, but there’s still a primitive part of me that feels like it counts as a continuation of me even though everything that makes me will be lost.

I mean, ok? I’ll live as a billion bugs until I come back as a human or something… but I will come back.

They’re simply stupider than you thought. They buy into hype so fast without really listening to the experts already on the team.
