The mathematician Norbert Weiner father of cybernetics used to forget where left his car. You say, ‘big deal I do that!’. I am not talking about forgetting where it is locally. He used to drive down from Boston to the Pentagon and absent-mindedly fly back to Boston from Dulles. Now that’s forgetting where your car is!
