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”
We struggle a lot throughout our lives, caught between what we want to do and what we are good at. The moment these two coincide is the climax of our lives. Salmon die when they return to where they were born, after all. Our life is a fun journey to synchronize this conflict. Conflicts and worries are completely normal. Let’s cheer for myself as I wander in between! - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
