im fascinated by the idea that good memory is a sign of low intelligence. it started when i saw that video of apes being made to play memory games in a lab. they have insane, super-human photographic memory. when they are exposed to a pattern on a screen for a fraction of a second they are able to recreate the pattern… large complicated patterns that look like noise to a human. so i think of forgetfulness as a feature not a bug. the more intellect you have, the more your brain tries to focus your mental resources onto a smaller and smaller area.
