At times I wouldn’t mind getting flashy-thinged.

Haven’t Got Time For The Pain
Carly Simon
Produced by Richard Perry
Album Hotcakes

All those crazy nights when I cried myself to sleep
Now melodrama never makes me weep anymore
‘Cause I haven’t got time for the pain
I haven’t got room for the pain
I haven’t the need for the pain
Not since I’ve known you

You showed me how, how to leave myself behind
How to turn down the noise in my mind
Now I haven’t got time for the pain
I haven’t got room for the pain
I haven’t the need for the pain
Not since I’ve known you

Suffering was the only thing that made me feel I was alive
Though that’s just how much it cost to survive in this world
‘Til you showed me how, how to fill my heart with love
How to open up and drink in all that white love
Pouring down from the heaven

I haven’t got time for the pain
I haven’t got room for the pain
I haven’t the need for the pain
Not since I’ve known you

Sounds like it’s chemotherapy for neural network cells. “Probably won’t erase anything else since we’re targeting this here node in your sub-network from 1982...I would’nt worry, this won’t hurt a bit.”

Kinda like trusting Google or Verizon to only delete photos with a certain face on it. Might work, might miss by a bit.

One of the things about this pill is that you forget you ever took it. Look for example at the number of us who have already forgotten the two Hillary Clinton administrations.

EU (Soros) says, at least for now (ever). You realize we cannot allow the British to simply Brexit.

Define "worst". I've spent a life packing in memories. Most good, some bad. I'm not going to touch any more stoves. I don't remember the ear infection I had when I was 3, but I DO remember the shot I got for it, and how I screamed and wrestled with my father to avoid it.

These guys want to test mind control. How long until they can create a pill that will confirm that we have always been at war with EastAsia?

The first thing I thought of was the loss of memory of the Jews after they had crossed over into the desert.

“Why did you bring us out here to die!? At least we had food and water in Egypt!!”

It would be only a matter of time before the government education indoctrination-asylums started giving the inmates those pills so students wouldn't have to go through life triggered by evil concepts such as

No, I would not take the pill. Those times where I was dashed upon the jagged rocks of never ending despair are very important to remember.

I want to remember the good and the bad. What I want is to go back and remember to take the other fork in the road.

The problem with this is that you may forget your biggest mistake but others will not.

Or worse - you’ll make that big mistake again.

If I had an extraordinary trauma, like cutting off my own hand with a chainsaw, I might choose to eliminate that memory.

But for everything else, your experiences are what make you who you are. Why would I want to eliminate the memory of a betrayal? Lessons learned, and all that.

Hillary must have volunteered for clinical tests. Seems like she can't remember anything even remotely nefarious...

I remember an original Star Trek episode where a guy was erasing everyone’s greatest regret. What could go wrong?

But then you would look down at your stump and say, "How in hell did that happen?".........................
