what he says about vaccines, is really tricky, i wish he did not have brought it up, it has nothing to do with truth neither, he is a great man & gives us insight, not in 'that' topic tho.

This point highlights the paradox of photography. While seemingly capturing memories, our reliance on cameras can diminish our active engagement with experiences, leading to weaker memory formation. "that speaks to how we can improve and enhance memory the story of the birthday party was one in which you were sort of you know in a traumatized situation trying to problem solve you know uh on the Fly uh and because it was a heightened experience and you weren’t preoccupied with documenting it that memory lives more strongly right..."

High school lunch memories at Valley Fair are still quite vivid: Sbarro, Hot Dog on a Stick and Scummy begging for leftover fries.

The backup plan power/conservation of memory: a reserve allowing you to manipulate the image, thoughts, even in their absence, manipulate things like during an AI project you have to have them in memory in order to to understand future developments which will be made available to generations so that they can know the future and project themselves into it, this always being done on a basis of knowledge of the past which is only the present

Memories are Dynamic and Reconstructed Each Time We Recall Them Another key idea is that memories are not static snapshots of the past but are actively reconstructed each time we recall them. This process is subject to various influences, including our current emotional state, existing knowledge, and even external suggestions. "[E]very time we recall a past event we’re modifying that memory a little bit or sometimes a lot in certain cases." This quote emphasizes that the act of remembering is not simply retrieving a fixed file but involves actively reassembling and potentially altering the memory trace. "[W]hen we remember a past event we’re not replaying the memory we’re imagining how the past could have been and generating this big scenario in our head..."

@@butterfly4875 Being 70 isn't too bad but when I visited the assisted living place 3 guys were arguing, the 80 year old said his problem is when he wakes up at 8 it takes an hour to do #1, the 90 year old said that was nothing because at 9 it takes and hour to do #2, the 100 year old said at 8 he does #1, at 9 he does # 2, the only problem is he doesn't wake up until 10.

As an artist and musician, i can tell you that mindfulness is simply ingrained in my daily activity ..it’s my normal / natural state. And I wonder if generative AI will interfere with this positive aspect of humanity by cheapening creativity and artistry, and undermining our interest in pursuing such activity

I started a book with co-authors, each of them I’ve read before, even though I don’t read much fiction. I read a few pages and it was like reading at a seventh or eighth grade level. After giving it a chance with a few more pages, I looked at the publication date which was 2023. It was clear that the bland text was AI assisted writing. Bad form and quite sad because two men who have notoriety and plenty of money went that direction.

Memory is Not a Perfect Recording of the Past, but a Tool for Navigating the Future A central theme in the source is that memory is not a flawless archive of past events but rather an adaptive tool that prioritizes information relevant to our future. The brain selectively retains information deemed essential for survival and decision-making, discarding much of the mundane details we encounter daily. "[T]o me the question is really why do we remember anything why why do we have this capability if it's not to document the past in some Library form and the answer is it’s about the future." This quote underscores the evolutionary purpose of memory. Our brains are not designed to store every detail but to extract patterns and insights that help us anticipate and respond to future challenges. "The brain being this machine that is always searching for past patterns and and has this functionality around predicting the future and so memory operates like a selection device..." Here, the analogy of a selection device illustrates how the brain actively filters information, retaining what is likely to be useful and discarding what is not. "[M]emories about the present and it’s about the future the brain being this machine that is always searching for past patterns and and has this functionality around predicting the future..." This statement reinforces that memory's primary function is to inform our present actions and future choices by drawing upon relevant experiences from the past.

So, basically, my brain is a lazy archivist that only saves the highlights. No wonder I can't remember what I had for breakfast.

I know it’s my issue. Most likely OCD and getting stuck on something and I’ve mentioned this before with previous guests. The ones who say “right?” After every sentence and or thought. Why do some do this? As a neuro brain guy do you have the answer? Is it a clarity thing for him cause he’s really not sure if he’s being understood ? Or is it childhood trauma from being ignored and not listened to as a child? Im serious. We all do it to an extent i believe but some more than others. Respectfully :-()

It's irritating. I agree. I use it as an exercise in my own ability to tolerate irritations or things that bother me. I also mean this respectfully. It reminds me of when I started noticing a lot of people in Interviews when asked a question beginning their response with "So,....". I've learned to focus on content and understand that language is fluid, ever changing. The purpose is to communicate and we all have to accept one another's ways of doing that. Within reason!😂

I appreciate your interpretation of the Jewish lens on menstruation, but the reality is simply the abhorrence of death that underlies much of Jewish practice and defines blood as "unclean" is what set up essentially the ostracism of a menstruating female. I was fortunately raised in a conservative synagogue, not in an Orthodox community, but i definitely know about a lot of traditions we have as a religion (and why some sects moved far away from them)
