A perfect memory would be kind of horrifying

I have never wanted to forget anything. Not only that, but I realized early on that much of my inefficiency in learning, doing, and scheduling tends to be caused by needing to constantly remind myself of things I have studied, understood, or experienced before. So I came to terms with the associative, analog nature of memory. Its fallibility and tricks. But if it was possible, if I could choose to, I would prefer “perfect memory”.
