In neuroscience, ‘memory’ and ‘forgetting’ are regarded as the same concept. ‘Remember’ presupposes ‘forgetting,’ and ‘remembering’ can lead to ‘forgetting.’ Memory is generally categorized into ‘semantic memory’ and ‘autobiographical memory.’ We do not know when or how we learned that Stockholm is the capital of Sweden. This is referred to as semantic memory, which does not involve an attempt to remember. In contrast, autobiographical memory involves an effort to recall a fact that has been personally experienced. Both types of memory entail forgetting. Semantic memory omits the process of acquiring knowledge, while autobiographical memory strives not to forget. Studying entails the process of retaining or forgetting these two types of memory. When the distinction between them is unclear, we mistakenly presume that others have taken our thoughts and experiences. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
A consequentialist is someone who seeks to connect every conclusion to both motives and intentions. They have different attitudes towards giving up. The judgment of value by linking the beginning and the end also varies. For example, if it is said that a person is born and must die, it is argued that something that is not born is better anyway, or that death is the culmination of life, so it is not negative to die as soon as one is born. They make pessimistic judgments and draw radical conclusions by viewing a microscopic situation macroscopically or, conversely, by examining a macroscopic situation microscopically . Consequentialists see the assistance of those around them as mere tools. Their pleasure comes from winning over others for a plausible cause, and victory is seen as success and achievement. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
