Makes sense. It is best to forget useless things and fill the brain with useful ones. I was also going to say something else, but I forgot.

- ksec 8y agoWell, whether or not it is "useless" depends on the person. Most human have emotional attachment to memories. And hence those that are more emotional ( whether it is inside or outside ) tends to remember things better and in tiny details. And I actually doubt we "forget" about it. It is not like a computer sudden decide to do GC and you have more memory space. I think our brains tends to archive those "useless" things into somewhere deep, that takes lot of energy and take it back out. I don't believe information is lost in our brain, it is most encrypted, compressed ( lossy ) and stored differently.
