    “No person ever steps in the same river twice, for it's not the same river and they not the same person.”

That's really well put. A rigid concept of a thing exists only in our minds, like so many things about reality.

The question takes a different take when you consider that remaking yourself on the spot won't change what your life has been beforehand. You aren't editing a save file of a videogame where you actions affect where you end up: you're editing your current state, with the rest of your life stemming from it afterwards. You'll still retain the methods you've developed due to poor eyesight unless you choose to disregard it.

In such a condition, would you remake yourself?
