2000 zoomer anon here,Why can't I remember every day of my life from the moment I was born till now? Why are Human brains limited in memory recollection of every hour or minute of every day dating back since you were born? You should be able to peer back exactly whenever you want at will right? I don't get it
You would go insane
>>42460936>>2000 zoomergood times. parachuting perc 30's and jerking off to my high school teachers feet. Halo 3 with those other faggots, and boxy threads. Worry free. Miss those days
and you're aware of it and can just watch the thoughts and judge them it's really quite something
>>42461174Every year seems to change whilst still being the exact same thing. How can cultural pillars change from your own human perspective when it's outside of our own control from day 1?
>>42461148Those same anons you'd play a game with on Valhalla in the late 2000's are still probably alive but you'll just never be able to interact with them again because it was only confined to that one moment. How can there be so many memories of each person on this Earth and there be no overall storage capacity for the entire "thing"?
Your suppose to forget. Same reason your memory wiped for each incarnation.
It's a defense mechanism. Imagine being able to remember every insult, every taunt, every bout of depression. It would simply render you incapable of functioning—at least for many people.
>>42460936An actual thoughtful thread on /x/.
>>42461325My thoughts are all memories and information/experiences are recorded and stored as part of the nature of matter and the physical universe. Our physical braint cant hold that much info in our conscious mind but there has to be some way we can access all those store’s experiences. Theosophy famously called this the Akashic Records.
>>42460936Sleep.
>>42460936>>42461072I knew a guy with genius intelligence who claimed to remember everything he ever did with precise detail, and could skim a an essay in 20s and recall all the details. Also built like a football center, easily 250 lbs mostly muscle.Last encounter we had, he had drank a while handle of cheap whisky himself and started attacking people, attacked me saying "I will kill you and eat your flesh!" (He was part Mexican and had an obsession with his flesh eating ancestors) and the police hauled him off. The Aristotelian /x/ mean is to be pretty smart and kinda crazy. You aren't doing yourself any favors if you end up medicated or behind bars.
>>42460936it has something to do with language. Memory and language worth together. Your earliest memories will coincide with how early you began speaking and building your vocabulary.
>>42460936Why would remembering every little detail be efficient. It’s not. Your brain is designed to recall small details of useful things, the more they are recalled the stronger that connection gets. Most of you encounter does not help you survive, find food, get a mate or whatever else. Perfectly remembering that full two hours you got 2300 points on whatever shitty game would be an inefficient vegetable like creature who stands around drooling and would long ago have died.
>>42462008Nope. That in no way describes why human memory does not perfectly remember every single event.
This world has never been good it has always been full of sin you only remember it positively because you were a child at that time
>>42460936it's just a hardware limitiation, probably has to do with evolutionary reasonsI'm one of those freaks with an exceptional memory, it's only like two steps away from total recall, and carrying all this baggage in my mind 24/7/365 is pretty fucking stressful, so I can see why human evolution might have selected against most people having a perfect or even just a better memorybasically it's what >>42461072 said
>>42460936You may not be able to pull it up "at will", but all of the information is still in there. It's basically stored based on relative importance. So only the information needed for survival is readily available. The savants you read about who can literally pull up any information at will aren't storing more information than you. They're just able to access more of it.
There's some evidence that the ancients had perfect recall. My own hunch is that perfect recall of all events across all past lives is probably the last stage of enlightenment, as it would be world-consciousness in the literal sense of instantaneous experience of every moment of consciousness to have ever been, which is what the Godhead experiences. So the Buddha probably did it, I guess.
>>42462182>There's some evidence that the ancients had perfect recall.No there isn’t.>So the Buddha probably did it, I guess.You are profoundly stupid.
There's multiple different kind of memories. First is regular ability to remember and recall things and events. Then there is work memory, the one that puts you into autopilot when you you apply a learned skill or routine. Your body remembers also things that your mind does not, especially traumas both mental and physical. Then there is soul memory, the one associated with past lives. And finally the blood memory, the only one that you will pass on. Like other anons pointed out, it's a blessing being able to forget. You know how computer hard drives work, stuff gets overwritten to save space and if you ever run out of space things start to slow down and go wrong. But I don't think you can totally forget something, like if you forget an appointment it won't get wiped out of your mind completely. Dementia and alzheimer are also very weird how they can send peoples minds very far back in time with quite vivid memories. I also remember seeing a video about a brain disease that literally disintegrates the brain, making patient catatonic but minutes before dead they become totally lucid and remember everything and being able to converse normally.
