What would aliens say when told earthlings shift clocks twice a year to fool themselves into thinking there's more sunlight?
Neil deGrasse Tyson
Who you are, where you've been and what you've done is all up here, captured and preserved in your memories. If you lost that - the story of your own origins - you'd lose your identity, your sense of self.
