A hypothetical question
I was watching the "Norm MacDonald show" and he asked his guest Jane Fonda what I thought was an interesting question. He said, to paraphrase, "if you were offered a 2 week holiday that would be the best time you had ever had in your life- but you wouldn't be able to remember any of it, would you do it? Jane Fonda said no. I would definitely say yes. Any thoughts?

Re: A hypothetical question
No
NO!
It wouldn’t be part of your life except for that brief period of time.
The next step would be electing to have dementia.
Categorically no.
I’d be doubtful of eradicating any of the negatives of life, too.

Re: A hypothetical question
We already forget much of what happens in life, so why not take the 2 week holiday, enjoy it while it lasts, and when it's over, move on. No readjustment to normal life needed.
Such a 2 week holiday is like an amazing, passionate, romantic fling. Every moment is pure bliss and ecstasy. But deep in your heart you know it's too good to be true, and you know it's going to end at some point.
With both you have to return to normal life. The difference is that with one you forget and don't suffer, while with the latter, you never forget, and you suffer.
