This is a little bit of spaced repetition with some Mind Palace location-based stuff going in there.
Train today.
This was something that I get asked a lot at the live shows that I've been doing, which is how do I get better at remembering ideas?
And when I first started,
started trying to not be so much of an adult infant.
I'm listening to Sam Harris and Jordan Peterson and Rogan.
And these guys just seem to have like eidetic memory, like fucking Ben Shapiro seemed to have this like photographic memory.
I remember reading things and then trying to explain them to a friend later on that day.
And I couldn't even remember what book it was I'd been reading.
And it was so embarrassing.
And I thought, God, you know, this is
suck.
These people out there, they either have a skill set that I don't have or a capacity that I don't have, or they're using some sort of strategy that I'm not aware of.
And maybe they're just better people than me.
And then I realized that there was no reason for me to remember it.
I was remembering ideas to tell my friend in the gym.
And a lot of the time when people are saying, I wish I remembered more of what I read.
I'm like, well, why?
Why is it that you want to remember this thing that you're reading?
Well, it would be cool to explain to other people.
