If I had consciousness, they would still be meaningless. I need access to my old brain... My brain has my memories on it.
I don't know when I'll die. If I die now, ALL of my accomplishments would be meaningless. The only accomplishment I could value is the recorded accomplishments. If I climb mount everest, I want people to know I climbed it... Otherwise, it means nothing. While travel, sports, and adventure are the most rewarding things in my life, they won't have value after they're over.
