Technically true, but I still feel consciousness continuity with these previous states of 'me'. And while I'm aware that fear of nonexistence is pointless and unactionable (because when I die there would be no more 'me', no more thoughts, so really no point to worry about something that I would never experience), that knowledge doesn't actually help with my primal fear of nonexistence.
