And everybody said that the weeks were going by faster. So what's going on? No law of physics can explain that, right? It's like, how does time move more slowly in a day but disappear in a week? And the reason has to do with memory. You're staying in the same context, and so you just have these memories that aren't very... different from each other.

And the reason has to do with memory. You're staying in the same context, and so you just have these memories that aren't very... different from each other.

And so as a result, it feels like the day has just been going really slowly because you haven't been accumulating all these memories that would give you a sense of time passing.

but then you reach the end of the week and you can't remember anything because you had all of these blurry memories that interfered with each other so much that you look back and it just feels like the time went by and disappeared because you have effectively lost that time because you can't remember. Right. And so it, memories can really warp our sense of time, uh, uh, as a result.

Uh, but the opposite is also true that if you don't have memories, uh, You will be floating in time and space. That is, if you ask people with memory disorders, what date is it? They won't be able to tell you because their last memory of a time and a date was the time that they had a good memory.

but you know, there'll be, if this, they had a stroke or a cardiac arrest that gave them brain damage in, you know, 1997, they will, every day is 1997 to them. And they look at the mirror and they're like, what's happening? I don't, I don't understand this.

I think that I would, I mean, there's so many, we've talked about a number of them already, but probably the biggest one is that memory should be free and easy. And that's just not true. I mean, all memory research shows that it's hard and it's not easy and it's not free for sure.

And so a bit of intention goes a long way in helping you remember what you need as opposed to trying to remember everything and expecting it should be there. And so that's a really big one. And I guess the other one is that memory is supposed to be about the past, and it's really about the present and the future. Why? Well, let's just take the present, for instance, right?
