Feel The Wind_01

Imagine you were falling through the air and in every single instant there was no such thing as memory, would you even know that you were falling?
You wouldn't have a moment before to compare it to. You probably wouldn´t even really be able to feel the wind on your body because by the time it even sort of got to your brain you´ve forgotten about it. There's no such thing as memory.
And yet it still seems to make sense that someone could be conscious.
But if you remove that memory fully and it seems so rudimentary, so simplistic, so devoid of content that I think this helps to demonstrate the plausibility of a view that consciousness is actually a lot more simple than it's given credit for.
