When I ask people about their memory, 90% of them say that they're terrible at memory or they have memory problems.
Well, what I would say is this.
First of all, forgetting is the default.
What I mean by that is you experience all this stuff.
At this moment, you're getting a barrage of information.
A massive amount of that information is lost within just an hour of learning.
And so memory, if you want to take a cheesy analogy, memory is basically packing for the journey of life.
The brain is saying, okay, I got to pack some stuff.
What am I going to pack with me based on what I think I'll need in the future, right?
Exactly.
Like imagine if you remembered every temporary password you had, right?
Like if your brain was just hoarding memories nonstop.
where I put my keys, where I put my phone.
I lose track of conversations.
You know, I actually got contact lenses because I kept misplacing my glasses.
Putting your keys in the same place for one thing all the time makes it a lot easier.

And so I'll see some chocolate.
I'll eat it.
