Memories Mean Past

More From Daniel Kahneman

The desktop metaphor was invented because one, you were a stand-alone device, and two, you had to manage your own storage. that's a very big thing in a desktop world. and that may go away. you may not have to manage your own storage. you may not store much before too long.
Two Long Going Away
Memory is corrupted and ruined by a crowd of memories. if i am going to have a true memory, there are a thousand things that must first be forgotten. memory is not fully itself when it reaches only into the past. a memory that is not alive to the present does not remember the here and now, does not remember its true identity, is not memory at all. he who remembers nothing but facts and past events, and is never brought back into the present, is a victim of amnesia.
Memories Past True Identity
The artist is the lowest form of life on the rung of the ladder. the publishers are usually businessmen who deal with businessmen. they deal with promotional people. they deal with financial people. they deal with accountants. they deal with people who work on higher levels. they deal with tax people, but have absolutely no interest in artists, in individual artists, especially very young artists.

All our thoughts and concepts are called up by sense-experiences and have a meaning only in reference to these sense-experiences. on the other hand, however, they are products of the spontaneous activity of our minds; they are thus in no wise logical consequences of the contents of these sense-experiences. if, therefore, we wish to grasp the essence of a complex of abstract notions we must for the one part investigate the mutual relationships between the concepts and the assertions made about them; for the other, we must investigate how they are related to the experiences.

No individual can be in full control of his fate-our strengths come significantly from our history, our experiences largely from the vagaries of chance. but by seizing the opportunity to leverage and frame these experiences, we gain agency over them. and this heightened agency, in turn, places us in a stronger position to deal with future experiences, even as it may alter our own sense of strengths and possibilities.

In the past 10,000 years, humans have devised roughly 100,000 religions based on roughly 2,500 gods. so the only difference between myself and the believers is that i am skeptical of 2,500 gods whereas they are skeptical of 2,499 gods. we're only one god away from total agreement.
