Daniel Kahneman on the difference betweenexperience selves (ES) and remembrance selves (RS).

The ES lives its life continuesly, it has moments of experience – one aftter the other. (..)The RS defines a story - the story the memory delivers for us, and is also true that we make up changes, significant moments and endings, endings are very very important. (..)”
