Serious Philosophical Question
Hi. I have a question for you, and I would really, really appreciate an honest and serious response. I love jokes and humor and all that, and I am often guilty of giving non-serious responses to serious questions, but I am asking this question for a real purpose related to research, so if you don't mind, I'd really appreciate your honest response.

Question:

Suppose a villain has captured you and gives you a choice between the following two scenarios:

1. Have your brain completely reprogrammed so that all of your attitudes, emotions, memories, general desires, goals, personality traits, mental skills, etc. are wiped out and replaced with completely new ones.
2. Gamble your life on some random outcome N for which you have a positive non-zero chance of being released unharmed and a positive non-zero chance of being killed painlessly.

What is your response to the villain?

If you don't get my jokes, it's because of Postmodernism.
