Does memorizing undermine our ability to know things?
For example, you could see three faces next to each other and you would visually place the same infinity sign
over three sets of eyes and then see, are the eyes smaller?
Are they bigger?
How do they fit in that picture?
And there's lots of different things that you could do.
How would someone like Harry Lorayne or Kreskin memorize 500 names based on people's faces?
That's really fascinating.
Also, I could imagine it putting the person in a setting, like if you meet someone on the street, but you picture them in a particular coffee shop because you know the name of the coffee shop.
With these techniques, do you get better over time to where shorthand develops or is it always every step needed?
So if one is always a candle and if two is always a Swan and you remember a list and you have a particularly colorful candle for the list that day, and then later that night, you're memorizing another list.
Does the candle ever get confused with the candle from earlier in the day?
Since you started using memory palaces, do you pay more attention to the world around you to be able to call on those places that you go to now for future memory palaces?
Tell me about the types of places that you regularly use, because I think of the house I live in would be an easy one for me to remember the details of, but I don't know how many places I could know in detail from memory.
How is memorizing a list different than memorizing a poem or a Bible verse?
Are there practical accepted ways of memorizing the Bible?
Are there other things you can do in life that support memory outside of the memory techniques?
And what do you do if you forget or get something wrong?
Is there any benefit to physicality as it relates to memory?
Is there any downside to memorizing?
