Why read it multiple times? Just close your eyes
- mikestew 9y agoBecause the eidetic memory only lasts for a few minutes. The commentor might have meant to use the phrase “photographic memory”, but that has thus far been shown to be myth. But, really, the post was about “I’m smart, and I’d just march right out of that interview”, ignoring that it was just a cute anecdote, so I guess it’s irrelevant. Nice catch, though. :-)
- jsjohnst 9y agoMostly just a cute anecdote is fair, but wasn’t what I was replying to one too? ;) Seriously though, I’m tired of folks doing stupid counterproductive interviews and then parading them as a good thing.
- jsjohnst 9y agoThe other reply was right, because it’s not permanent. I remember a lot just reading, but for full eidetic it lasts a very short time.
