> If you don't remember it, it wasn't important. I've found time and time again that something I thought wasn't important before can end up being very important later. That's only what I can remember, too. Plus, there's a selection bias in what you remember. If you don't remember it, how would you know that it's important or not later? If the cost is small then I think "digital materialism" is probably mostly okay. I've come to the conclusion that it's hard for me to predict the importance of things later, so if something appears to be ephemeral and has even a modest chance of being important later, I'll archive it and organize it so I can find it later if I want to.
