since the overwhelming majority of "persons" are recycled

You don't KNOW that. You've been told this voodoo, and you believe it for reasons that may range from gullibility to being challenged in analytical thought, but it is NOT an undisputed fact you seem to feel it is.

(without the benefit of memory of the preceding lives...

Riddle me this - If I come back without remembering anything I have lived, said, or done in this life, how can you possibly say it is the same person, since most of "me" was shaped through my experiences and choices?

although some persons do have such memories

Or they are charlatans.

game-over does not really mean game OVER! And since almost NOBODY exits at death into "enlightenment" because of their lack of preparation and capability to sustain that
(which requires the most intense discipline yet freedom of attention and energy. Both!)


I guess you just "know" all that...

How many times have you died hm? How many times have you talked to someone you KNOW has come back from death?

Oh sorry. I should not have tried to evoke "reason".
