Remembering random trivial details from a past life rather than anything important. Imagine someone being constantly bothered by memories/frags from a previous incarnation and after extensive retrieval processes discovers they’re just as meaningless and irrelevant to world peace as most memories from one’s present life. What if someone invented an equation/process/machine that proved reincarnation occurred but was pretty much like the present and just as uncertain about life/god/future and the meaning of meaning. What about a drug [like Verdi’s description of DMT] that gave people a cascading series of memories from their past lives and they were all things like random visual or auditory/sensory flashes without context? Would people invent narratives around them?
