Death vs every day life?

[idav]

Anybody who doesn't believe that the self persists from day to day, or even moment to moment, should be completely unafraid of the worst torture ever happening to them tomorrow. And yet of course, just about anybody making this type of argument would not want to be tortured slowly to death tomorrow, and in fact would be gravely afraid of such. That is a demonstration of doubt by them that self is not continuous.

Yet memory is that fickle. Consciousness and memory of bad experience count on our ability to recall it day by day through triggers and association. However most dont have photographic memories so time ends up healing these wounds. The torture wouldnt matter if amnesia hit or some brain deteriorating disease or even if our brain decided to repress it and just trigger hidden memories making us afraid without consciously knowing why. It isnt a doubt about it, being afraid to be tortured because we know torture when it happens during the current conscious experience so we trick ourselves and go into surgeries with heavy anesthesia to repress the torture. For example I dont remember being circumcised cause I was a baby yet it probably traumatized me a great deal, adults going through it have quite a different experience.
