When you consider that the brain is most receptive to information prior to the age of six and sets up self-limiting blocks after that (a self-defense measure?) it’s amazing any of us live beyond 50. We human beings are unique for surviving on the added intelligence our brains provide while our bodies lag behind many of the simpler animal’s ability to withstand the forces of nature.
One recent article said we lack the memory ability of chimpanzees. I say we obviously have enough memory and innate talent for innovation to be typing these responses on this forum while the chimps are picking parasites off their buddies.
We are probably the only creatures aware of our own mortality and the implications of our impact on the overall time line...providing that dolphins are total hedonists and whales are captives of their subsonic tradition transference loop.
Well, it’s not that the info isn’t IN the brain, it’s more of an active recall issue. It’s recorded, we just may not always know where to stop the tape.
Short term memory and long term memory are two different animals. ;)
Say what?
It's far to late in the evening - ?early in the morning - to spring that on us...
