I was thinking about this a lot for this episode.
And I remembered this time when I was in college that I just, like, forgot my PIN number for, like, several days to this debit card that was, like, my main debit card that I used for years.
eventually just came back to me randomly when I was like in an elevator.
I called up Charan Ranganath, professor at the University of California, Davis, to talk about this.
Our brain wants to forget most stuff.
Like, OK, so like the point of memory isn't to log everything that's happening to us, that barrage.
Like right now, there are probably things happening to you that aren't even kind of making it to your conscious awareness.
Like the feeling of the chair on your butt.
probably weren't even thinking about that, right?
