This is me, and I suspect it hurts my career, as I'm lucky to remember the guy's name two offices over, much less the people who introduced themselves and we chatted for 5 minutes over a beer the nigh before. And before you talk about lack of empathy/caring, this happened to me all the time when I was younger/meeting women. Back then I would forget their name after about three sentences, so I tried to run a background process "I really like this girl, her name is $NAME, and it reminds me of $SOMETHING". But frequently that itself would cause problems as people can detect when you aren't paying 100% attention to what they are saying.. I suspect some of us, have the perfect genes for survival in the jungle with our 20 family members. The new large group social skills are something we can't deal with. So we are being selected out of the pool along with our killer instincts for other methods of survival. Frequently I wonder if some of frank Herbert's (there is some more recent similar stuff) science fiction where the human race is devolving into ant/bee like colonies is where we are all going.
