Even all else being equal, I'd prefer not to waste one year of my life on something I won't even remember afterwards.
Doesn't that describe all of life? Why waste <n> years of your life on something you won't even remember afterwards?
I picked the half-decent vacation because I assumed iarwain1 was talking about forgetting the great vacation immediately (i.e. within hours) after it's over; if I had to take the pill several decades later I would have picked the great vacation.
(This means that how much an experience matters to me depends on how long I will remember it, rather than just on whether it ever happened at all and/or on whether I will remember it at t = +∞. Does this have some serious badly counterintuitive consequence that I'm missing?)
Many philosophies of life fall apart on the cosmic macro scale. Lets not move the goalpost into post-transhumanism, it is clear that is not what ZankerH is talking about.
What are you talking about? I don't have a habit of losing memory after long-term activities, and I'm pretty sure that's normal.
Death.
I think you'll lose all your memories sometime in the relatively near future (say, less than 100 years).
