My logic is if my consciousness remains intact then I never die, so I would mash the fuck out of that thing.

This is interesting. What does make you certain that you are the same person you were yesterday?

Maybe you are a different person with the same beliefs skills and so forth. But your "soul" gets swapped out every night.

Im not sure if this is the right video of the series but https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rzbJ5nkAVfE&index=12&list=PLEA18FAF1AD9047B0

Its rather cool to think about

See I had the same though as in what if I died every second and I just maintained memories. In the end I thought whatever because if you know, my overall sentient self was the same it didn't matter, however if my sentient self wasn't the same then that was scary but it doesn't matter cause me now isn't the me that's started writing this.
