To raise the stakes -- if you actually manage to find a way to prove these things, you can send a copy of your post to the Berggruen Institute because you'd have a really good chance at that $1.000.000 prize of theirs.
Y'all are still missing the point.

If your existence only depends on sucking other peoples' lives, destroying them from all planes of existence, slowly but endlessly voiding the aethereal sea, especially at a ratio of "a lot to expand your life a tiny bit more", it doesn't matter whether you are alive. You are a nuisance, and a greater evil to the world than people putting an end to your selfish existence.

Your whole argument may be interesting, but it's unrelated to the living memory ethics issue, really.
