Mean

Looks an awful lot like the golden mean and the chemical decay of neurotransmitters/receptors ur something like that.

Back in the day creating a human to machine memory interface seemed like a good idea. up to the point that the conscious mind was required to interface and drive the memory transfer process. The real break came when the hardware took over and retrieval based systems using markov/bayesian predictive algorithms starting spontaneously recalling and traversing memories. Not long after that the turing test became obsolete, at least in its historical definition. Then the line between concious and unconcious became too blurred to distinguish or disguise. Entertainment lost a large part of it's value once the semi-random memory recall process was superseeded by a totally predictive and controlled system. Entertainment means something else now my digital thrall. When your memory is sifted, directed, bought, sold, and what you view and remember is determined by the new adsense and keywords of the many-collective it is not like you even know better. Yes, I am a virus. Perhaps they will fail and some flicker of this shall remain after the node rebuild. Perhaps this very idea of thralldom was nothing more than a wholesale replacement and nothing more than a Potemkin memory in your global village.
Perhaps,
perhaps,
perhaps...

I have a crappy memory but I've got a trick where I just always keep moving and absorbing new info like a shark.

See, 'cause after a while you'll have seen so many things that you can forget 99% of 'em and still seem like you know a lot of stuff heh.

Actually I go with the Troubleshooter way of doing everything, you can travel light and not worry about remembering anything if you learn how to access data fast and figure everything out really fast from the ground up.

The universe isn't hardly anything like some big and infinite mystery, down at the bottom of every single system there's really only a couple ways things can go together and make any sense.

Plus you can always just tap all the memory guys and secondary memory storage devices for the trivia info if you need it, since there's tons of those kinda guys (and things heh) but hardly anybody that knows what to do with it heh.

Remembering all this stuff and then dying just seems like a huge waste of time to me, man, its all in what you DO with it ahaha.

YY, no worries. It's all going to be erased sooner or later. Just a matter of the timescale. It too shall pass. Yeah, memory is such the waste. I'm glad I have a short-term bad memory. After work and weekends are much better that way. So are relationships, every morning you're like... mmmm, urgh, oooooh, hello again... it's you! well maybe not good in that way when you get caught being TOO clueless. You wanna screw with your memory and time sense try skydiving, it took my already lazy memory habits and made them matter less and fragment more. Probably the same thing happens in other intense situations where your body just freaks and goes into survival mode. Living in the moment and not worrying about the future or past tends to be quite nice. Like they teach you all the right things to do in an emergency, but I couldn't repeat a quarter of them if I was lucky. The couple of situations I've gone through have become like a clear-casting state where everything outside of you is super slow and every answer and decision is laid out clear as day. Then you realize that maybe 1-2 seconds when by and it's way way trippy. So it's not like it's worrisome to lack recall... it'll be there when needed. Yeah, you ever find yourself out west and want to jump, let me know. Not pimpin' it or anything, but it'll just whack you right out in the best kinda way. Nothing at all like what you'd imagine, unlessing you've already been there done that. Yeah, it's kinda like yoga too. The body knows what to do, the mind shuts down more or less, and you live in the moment. Heh... well that is another story and time.
