[Kahneman asks:] Imagine that for your next vacation you know that at the end of the vacation all your pictures will be destroyed and you'll get an amnesic drug, so that you won't remember anything. Now, would you choose the same vacation?

I would choose a vacation that involved a massive regimen of physical training and healthy eating. So much the same as what I would pick anyway with an educational component truncated and with somewhat less emphasis on trees, beaches and rainforests as backdrop. (Although even then I would consider a natural environment for the neurological impact I would expect beyond just episodic memory.)

I think of this as kind of like picking a vacation for another person -- a person who is going to die after the vacation. But that doesn't quite answer the question for me, because I know that during the vacation I wouldn't have the same feeling as I would if I knew I was actually going to die afterwards. I'm not sure how I would feel.
