I’ve become very paranoid about data loss, and I’m blaming my job in software engineering for introducing this fear. I wish my entire life could be recorded (from inside my brain) so that I can rely on an accurate store for recollection, rather than my forgetful mushy brain database. Since that’s not possible yet, I’m living in a kind of desensitised acceptance where I say ‘it’s all ephemeral… so be it.’
