My memory is really, really good. It’s my recall that’s crap. Feels more like my brain works like RAM and not a hard drive in that my memories are randomly accessed.
If it was Ram then everything you learned would disappear when you went to sleep. But it would all be easily accessible at all times instantly.
A hard drive sounds way more appropriate. It’s really good at following a single chain of information. It is terrible at randomly accessing information but it’s all there. The problem of course is that - people don’t talk as one long chain. There are tangents and then the drive must seek which is slow.

I mean, it does feel like that sometimes.
