So maybe that was my concern.

But I think that this everyday memory is really relevant.

And when you're studying that map, you're making notes of like, okay, it's close by, it's down the hall, I have to go down here.

And that can be very informative and useful for survival.

And there's some research saying that that's basically what our brain is tuned towards is surviving.

Where am I gonna eat?

How am I gonna sleep?

How am I gonna... So when you say everyday memory, I think that's probably the most important thing.

And part of that memory formation is also then forgetting it and updating it.

It's as simple as you need to know your hotel room number when you're staying there.

But if I ask you your hotel room number a week later, it's gone.

But that's good in a way, because you're gonna have other numbers to remember and other hotel room numbers to remember.

So there's benefits of forgetting.

So I think that's an interesting insight.

You're doing some processing to remember something, but then you need to update it and forget it.

And it's the same thing.

I think the best thing you can do in that case is, studying the map is one thing, but some people aren't great with maps and where am I in the hotel?

is doing that active learning of actually walking the halls of like, well, I go down here and there's the elevator.

So I can't go there.

Oh, there are the stairs.
