Regarding conscience and memory
Imagine that you are living a good life. But one day somebody tells you that every night since your birth you you have been taken from your home, and tortured the whole night. After that, each time your memory of the event was removed, so it seemed to you like you had just slept all night. There also would be no physical nor psychic harm done, the torturing would just be the most horrible experience you can imagine. You have no reason to doubt the person who tells you this, you are sure it is true.
How, if at all, would your life change? What would you be willing to pay/do to make it stop?
Would your answers be different if you would remember every time?
