I can close my eyes and see a whole map in Call of duty but can't remember what I ate for breakfast 3 days ago.

Awesome conversation. I tried using some of these techniques that I had learned later in life with my 7 year old son and was surprised to see how well it worked. I ended up creating a course for kids to learn how to learn.

What are some books or apps with strategies for learning memory management? Other than memory palace and anki?

'I would trade hair with you any day" - Charan Ranganath (yeah I grasped the core message of the video)

[SLAM]

the statement that the brain is optimal for age is tautological, necessarily at any age all you can do is what the brain allows you to do, so it's optimal for passing knowledge when old because your are handicapped on the other options.

Some of my memories of events and details from my childhood often feel clearer and more recent than something from yesterday or last week or last year. Isn't that weird! Or maybe I am just imagining or exaggerating it. I dunno. ❤🎉😮

[Adoubless]

I can remember everything and my sister doesn’t. Interesting how different we all are, even siblings.

I have Aphantesia : No mental imagery at all like Ed Catmull 2019 Turing laureate Glen Keane Disney and Mozilla founder. I thought counting sheeps was a metaphore. Instead we have semantic and facts based memorizing techniques. Find out if you are in the spectrum from Aphantesia to Hyperphantasia, british artist Steven Wiltshire is Hyperphantasic.

[abooaw]

🗼🇨🇵.Alex maybe you have ? Hyperphantasia like Steven Wiltshire vs Aphantasia myself, Ed Catmull Turing laureate Glen Keane Disney, and Mozilla founder. We are 10% in science and 1% in general population. Find out where you are in the spectrum. I thought counting sheeps was a metaphore

[zachmoyer]

this is why i think religion is so prevalent its like the original guidebook on how to deal with our own amnesia as we age lol if that makes any sense.

[stashmark]

I ought to remember the future given that I have regretted staying up on social network before bedtime to a sickening morning hangover must be that I have been conditioned to remember only the past and give the fiture over ti the supernatural gods.

I couldn’t remember to watch this video

[TonyFarley-pvnk]

Memory I find it real funny that we have a lot of these data breaches I think we're having a bigger data breach not all the way in business bit more in the home bounds you got all these deep minds All these permission changers recorders and it's like some of them say you can click on a website and next thing you know or you can even be thinking about things and then it'll start showing up on your feeds but anyways I found it funny that we just watch deep mine get sold right dim we just watching the Nvidia participate with openai or chat GTP next thing you know will he comes out with a memory cognitive ability
