What will you do when you've forgotten everything you've worked so hard to learn from the literature you've read?
>>24812377The subconscious doesn't forget
>>24812382yes, and?memory can be seen as a mediator between the stores of knowledge and what would be typically considered the ego. i'll warrant that the data may still exist somewhere still, but the question is what will you do when you no longer have access to it.i understand that you are a dishonest man, so likely you'll attempt to worm your way out of a pertinent response, so don't respond to this thread anymore.
>>24812389>i understand that you are a dishonest manYou don't know me at all. And why are you being so hostile? My point was: if you are still you, and your daily actions haven't changed, and those actions would have been different if you hadn't read those books in your younger years (that you no longer remember), then why worry about it?
>>24812407i told you not to respond, faggot. go away. let someone serious about the question come and communicate something worthwhile.
>>24812412>let someone serious about the question come and communicate something worthwhileYour nonsensical schizoid question will recieve no such thing.
>>24812424more dishonesty from the faggot. off with you.
>>24812426kill yourself

>In travelling where novelties of all kinds press in upon us, mental food is often supplied so rapidly from without that there is no time for digestion. We regret that the quickly shifting impressions can leave no permanent imprint. In reality, however, it is with this as it is with reading. How often we regret not being able to retain in the memory one-thousandth part of what is read! It is comforting in both cases to know that the seen as well as the read has made a mental impression before it is forgotten, and thus forms the mind and nourishes it, while that which is retained in the memory merely fills and swells the hollow of the head with matter which remains ever foreign to it, because it has not been absorbed, and therefore the recipient can be as empty as before.>...an occasion is required. how much the occasion achieves in the case of memory can be shown by the fact that anyone who has read fifty anecdotes in a book of anecdotes, and then laid the book aside, is sometimes unable to recall even a single one immediately afterwards. but if the occasion comes, or an idea occurs to him which has any analogy with one of those anecdotes, it comes back to him at once; and so do all the fifty as opportunity offers.>most of what the intellect has dropped it never takes up again, especially as the taking up again is bound to the principle of sufficient reason, and thus requires an occasion which the association of ideas and motivation have first to provide. ... the knowledge even of the scholarly head exist only VIRTUALITER as an acquired practice in producing certain representations. ACTUALITER, on the other hand, it is restricted to one particular representation, and for the moment is conscious of this one alone. hence there results a strange contrast between what a man knows potentia and what he knows actu, in other words, between his knowledge and his thinking at any moment. the former is an immense and always somewhat chaotic mass, the latter a single, distinct thought. the relation is like that between the unnumerable stars of the heavens and the telescope's narrow field of vision;t. schopenhauer
>>24812528>relying on schopenhauer for phenomenologyISHYGDDTNo, really. Shamans merely versed in yopo in the savage jungles are better apprised of the fluctuations of awareness and the availability of utile knowledge.Furthermore, it still skirts the question entirely and is instead a frustrated description of mind.Please take your dishonesty elsewhere. If you have the strength to confront yourself and answer the question point-blank, you'll find that you're a better man for it.
>>24812389>>24812412>>24812426>>24812433NTA but you are an incredibly neurotic and sour little runt of a man. I hope your memory turns to ash in your thick skull as your corpse is burned after the sacking of your family's home.

>>24812377I would simply like to point out that the face in the picture bears a good resemblance to certain soijaks, gemmies, drawings like that. I am slightly surprised that the image has not been reworked to acknowledge this connection.
>>24812377nothing, because i never learned anything from literature that i didnt already know.
>>24813465finally, a serious answer.are you sure you've learned nothing? why read?
>>24813474as a relief from the terrors of my other preoccupations
>>24813497Oh? what did you choose for your blindspot? into which reservoir did you place your shadow?
>>24812377We aren't blank slates, and the knowledge of "unchanging truths" is innate and could just as easily be described as recalled or realized, as opposed to "learned". It's actually not possible to "forget" those kinds of things in the first place, since there are truths which I will be aware of to some degree no matter what the situation is, and this has nothing to do with knowledge gained through experience or empiricism.

>>24813566gorgeous stuff. the source is amazing.
>>24813540>t. hasn't ever stepped foot in a nursing home1st person experience =/= third person observations.>you have no idea what you're blathering aboutI don't see anyone directly able to say it's false. There is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding.Maybe the above doesn't apply to you though if you're of lower degree or heritage. Still, I'm posting this for the sake of others since people should know the answer to this one.

stop replying to the troll thread
>>24813645just because i am in control of this thread and you can't do shit about it doesn't make it a 'troll thread'. it's just a 'fuck off, pissant' thread, and you're the pissant.
