I didn't get that part either. Why can't all the hopes of immortality be attributed to the organism - which clearly does get born, and does die? Yes, this does aggravate some interpretive questions, but I don't think Metzinger even wrestles with those questions, so in my view he isn't entitled to presume an opposing answer.
As I understand it Dennett is by and large of the same camp as Metzinger, he describer a self as fictive aka narrative gravity, but he still seems to think the concept is worth keeping.
