Now, I find it hard to Why should all the info be stored/your id. be preserved? We constantly forget stuff - as you get older and older, you will forget past stuff, so that different past histories would be compatible with your present state - maybe something like the quantum erasure experiment can function as an analogue: if you erase all info about which path is taken, superposition is restored. Same with brain: if you forget, many pasts will correspond to your present state. Your present state will be something like a narrow valve moving along a river - everything contained in the valve is "you", and the water flows through (water = events); but what is outside the "you" expands quite fast. You have no claim to a specific past which is not correlated with your brain state anymore.
