Hard Problem of Reincarnation

The challenge of reconciling the concept of a persistent, individual consciousness or soul that transfers between physical bodies with the lack of a known physical mechanism for such transfer, and the total amnesia that accompanies it. If you don't remember being Cleopatra, in what meaningful sense were you you? The "you" that reincarnates seems to be a stripped-down, anonymous kernel of being—a metaphysical thumb drive with its data wiped, raising the question of what, if anything, makes it the same entity.

Example: "The guru said I was a scribe in Atlantis. The hard problem of reincarnation is this: without my memories, desires, or personality, that scribe and I share only the abstract concept of 'consciousness substrate.' It's like saying a formatted hard drive in a new laptop is the 'reincarnation' of an old one. Technically maybe, but functionally, who cares?"
