I'm skeptical if some mastery of skills need an order of events in life that's fundamentally important. I assume youth is another important factor in the equation. The 10k hour rule is too hopeful for everything but I can see it w

My theory is re-writing is simpler, more efficient, basically elegant and all that's needed for achieving the task of producing a memory. I don't necessarily think forgetting an event is illustrating memories being deleted because

The next most interesting direction the researchers could go would be if deletion is possible. I’m assuming the question of deletion being even possible would be amazing to find certainty. I’m speculating for an existing memory to be delete

Canada is tremendously better than the USA if you're young (18 to 30 years old). I had the shittiest life in the USA, was born in Canada but parents moved to USA and when I was seven years old; parents were lower-middle class for conte

Thanks for replying again. I see. The thing for me that makes sense for me is what encompasses us is really what makes the outcome. The best I can describe it as a top down module. I cannot imagine how "us" being the "down&qu

Einstein was a pacifist and agreed with Spinoza's philosophy. I speculate Einstein just wanted things published the earliest in any case and for the next problems to be focused on.
