This also a reply to similar comment about &quot;cleaning myelin&quot;.<p>The big question here is (to which I allude in my comment): How do you control the &quot;resetting&quot; process, so that you wouldn&#x27;t lose the information that you consider important? I simply don&#x27;t think there is a good way to do it.<p>We already have a way to be immortal - have kids and teach them what you know and think is important. Which is an arduous and complicated process; I don&#x27;t think this &quot;myelin cleaning&quot; or whatever will be any easier.<p>I don&#x27;t think I want this reset. It may mean you become entirely different person, or your memories get lost. Let&#x27;s say you and your wife resets, and forget most memories you have of each other, pretty much why you&#x27;re together. Or you reset and you become a different person to your kids, and they become different to you.<p>I personally find either having kids, or teaching (if you can&#x27;t have kids for whatever reason), a more interesting proposition than some magical procedure that will clean my brain. If anything, it sounds really irresponsible to your future self - kinda like leaving your kids in the forest to take care of themselves.
