> Similar if I could recall all of my organisations confluence pages. Id probably be a lot better at my job. Same with all the slack history. All the hr documents, press releases, meeting transcripts. Theres practically no end to useful context even just in text form, and even if much of it is not relevant to any one task, having all of it in working memory would be fantastic, if only it were possible. I could probably make incredible cross organisational efficiencies and probably be far wealthier if I were some savant that could hold all of this in my head at once.
That sounds like the beginning of a sci-fi story where the conclusion is forgetting is not such a bad thing.
