Damn this is fucking insanely brilliant

It makes sense what you've described. However, one of the most challenging aspects to recognize is how implicit memory can override conscious, or explicit, memory, thereby influencing our thought processes. I've noticed that I sometimes unconsciously project a monotonous narrative, which is influenced by my family history and learned behaviors. This often includes dwelling on past traumas that affect my day-to-day life, usually without my full awareness. I believe more research is needed to explore how implicit and explicit memories interact in our everyday interactions. A key factor to consider is how to identify the influence of implicit memory on our behavior. Most of the time, we're not fully aware of how our implicit memories and actions are connected. I wonder if there are any specific methods to examine implicit actions. I find that approaches like those of Byron Katie, where you delve into the language used and investigate the historical memory lineage constructed in your brain, touch on some of these issues then to look at How the behaviour attached to that manifests into your day today

Halfway in and still waiting for anything we all don't know. Done waiting. Yikes.
