The foundation of intelligence is memory. Without memory, intelligence cannot develop or function properly. Creativity also relies on memory as a necessary prerequisite. Forgetting is also a phenomenon caused by memory. If there were no memory, there could be no forgetting. Without forgetting, memory capacity becomes overloaded, leading to various issues. From a memory perspective, forgetting is something to be grateful for. Essentially, intelligence is driven more by memory than by logic. The strength of memory shapes priorities and influences value formation. However, humans have eventually delegated memory to external tools outside of our consciousness, not our brains. These are called records. Examples include books and cell phones. Your cell phone is an extension of you. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
Although it is not possible to draw a conclusion due to insufficient study, scholars are examining “Is it really fair that humans are rewarded according to their abilities?” and the results suggest that luck and community support are decisive for success. Of course, one cannot ignore or disparage an individual’s abilities. However, it is more accurate to say that they have a limited impact on success. In humans, parental influence —namely, genetic and environmental factors —emerges as the most important aspect according to the study results. The issue is that no one can choose their parents. This is the fundamental reason we must remain humble. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
