>>57089118>I wish I could replace this knowledge with something usefulDon't worry that's not how human's memory works. We're not computers, with limited space on our hard drive. Humans function by associating ideas, by making mental links. So it's quite the opposite: the more we know, the “easier” it is to know new things by relating them to what we already know.
That's why it's easy to remember a small fucking detail linked to one of our hobbies, something we already know well ("Oh yes, this is the CZW-16, not the 15, look, the edge are a bit smaller here"), but have trouble remembering our neighbor's first name.
