Might end up on r/iamverysmart, but fuck it. While the video is clever and very informative, it must be pointed out that memory is not always biased in this fashion for some individuals.

​

Now for the part you might chastise me for and irrevocably immortalize my username on some sub designated for criticizing others:

I have Eidetic memory, and always have. The ironic part (perhaps not) is that I have terrible dyscalculia and dyslexia. When I *think*, I do not sub-vocalize. I can literally see my memories. When it came to tests in school, I would skim the material beforehand and retain it; I was able to look back on it. A decade later, I still do this. My memories do not build themselves out of emotion. If I don't know something, I don't know it... and I know that. It is black and white.

Having the awareness to know you don't know something is key. Many people mistake *gut-feeling* for belief--that is a mistake.
