If time is memory, and we want more time... Then what we want is, more memories! Good ones preferably...

Time is memory
Remembering memories, and happiness vs well being
The riddle of experience vs. memory | Daniel Kahneman
The experiencing self lives it's life continuously. And it has moments of experience one after the other.
What happens to these moments? ... The psychological present is said to be 3 seconds long...
– They are lost forever. Most of them don't leave a trace. Most of them are completely ignored by the remembering self.
What defines a story are changes, significant moments and endings. Endings are very, very important.
The biggest difference between the experiencing self and the remembering self is the handling of time.
Time, has very little impact on the story.
But... It's the remembering self that makes decisions... We go on vacations in the service of the remembering self.
Why do we put so much weight on memory, relative to the weight we put on experience?
So... The two selves bring up two concepts of happiness.
The happiness of the remembering self is not about how happily a person lives. It's about how satisfied or pleased a person is when that person thinks about her life.
The main lesson that we (researchers) have learnt is that they're REALLY different. You can know how satisfied a person is with their life, and that really doesn't teach you much about how happily they're living their life.
We know that happiness is mainly being satisfied with people that we like. Spending time with people that we like. There are other pleasures but this is dominant.
We should not think of happiness as a substitute for well being. It is a completely different notion.
It is very difficult to think straight about well being.
We do not attend to the same things when we think about life and when we actually live.

Understand the things I say
Don't turn away from me
'Cause I spent half my life out there
You wouldn't disagree
D'you see me, d'you see
Do you like me, do you like me standing there
D'you notice, d'you know
Do you see me, do you see me
Does anyone care?
Don't turn away from me
'Cause I spent half my life out there
You wouldn't disagree
D'you see me, d'you see
Do you like me, do you like me standing there
D'you notice, d'you know
Do you see me, do you see me
Does anyone care?
Unhappiness, where's when I was young
And we didn't give a damn
'Cause we were raised
To see life as a fun and take it if we can
My mother, my mother she'd hold me
Did she hold me, when I was out there
My father, my father, he liked me
Oh he liked me, does anyone care?
And we didn't give a damn
'Cause we were raised
To see life as a fun and take it if we can
My mother, my mother she'd hold me
Did she hold me, when I was out there
My father, my father, he liked me
Oh he liked me, does anyone care?
Understand what I've become
It wasn't my design
And people everywhere think
Something better than I am
But I miss you, I miss
'Cause I liked it, 'cause I liked it
When I was out there
D'you know this, d'you know
You did not find me, you did not find
Does anyone care?
It wasn't my design
And people everywhere think
Something better than I am
But I miss you, I miss
'Cause I liked it, 'cause I liked it
When I was out there
D'you know this, d'you know
You did not find me, you did not find
Does anyone care?
On the importance of forgetting
"The predominant focus in the neurobiological study of memory has been on remembering (persistence). However, recent studies have considered the neurobiology of forgetting (transience). Here we draw parallels between neurobiological and computational mechanisms underlying transience. We propose that it is the interaction between persistence and transience that allows for intelligent decision-making in dynamic, noisy environments. Specifically, we argue that transience (1) enhances flexibility, by reducing the influence of outdated information on memory-guided decision-making, and (2) prevents overfitting to specific past events, thereby promoting generalization. According to this view, the goal of memory is not the transmission of information through time, per se. Rather, the goal of memory is to optimize decision-making. As such, transience is as important as persistence in mnemonic systems."

Influenciando a memória
Sobre Elizabeth Loftus
"If I have learned anything from these decades of working on these problems, it's this: just because someone tells you something and they say it with confidence, just because they say it with lots of detail, just because they express emotion when they say it, it doesn't mean that it really happened. We can't reliably distinguish true memory from false memories."
Elizabeth Loftus
Everybody's gotta learn sometime
“How happy is the blameless vestal’s lot!
The world forgetting, by the world forgot.
Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind!
Each pray’r accepted, and each wish resign’d”
Alexander Pope
"Blessed are the forgetful: for they get the better even of their blunders."
Nietzsche
The key to extraordinary talent is extraordinary memory... And the drive to learn more.
Senão vejamos:
Quando se tem a capacidade (memória) e vontade para recolher tanta informação desde muito cedo na vida, não admira que o processamento e a integração dessa informação seja de nível superior.
...e... da partilha:
"He enjoys nothing more than using his talent to help fellow classmates see the beauty he sees..."

Susan Polgar é a melhor jogadora de xadrez do mundo. Mas ela não nasceu com o seu cérebro brilhante - foi criado por uma experiência única que dominou toda a sua infância. Desde os 4 anos de idade foi treinada a jogar xadrez pelo seu pai até seis horas por dia. Crescer nos inícios dos anos 70, e até então nenhuma mulher tinha ainda ganho o título máximo em campeonatos de xadrez. Acreditava-se que o cérebro feminino não apresentava a adequada consciência espacial necessária para este jogo. Hoje em dia, a memória e o reconhecimento de padrões são reconhecidos como as áreas chave utilizadas por peritos em todos os campos -desde empregados de mesa a bombeiros. O verdadeiro génio de Susan revela-se ao jogar uma partida de xadrez, inteira, através de um telemóvel. O seu adversário pode ver o tabuleiro, mas ela não. Em vez disso usa a sua memória para visualizar o jogo.

"A partir do momento em que o eu autobiográfico se torna capaz de funcionar com base no conhecimento gravado nos circuitos cerebrais e nos registos externos de pedra, argila ou papel, os seres humanos passam a conseguir associar as necessidades biológicas individuais à sapiência acumulada. Começa assim um longo processo de pesquisa, reflexão e reacção, representando ao longo da história humana nos mitos, nas religiões, nas artes e em variadas estruturas inventadas para reger o comportamento social — moralidade, sistemas de justiça, economia, política, ciência e tecnologia. A derradeira consequência da consciência chega através da memória. Trata-se da memória adquirida através de um filtro de valores biológicos e animada pelo raciocínio."
António Damásio, in O Livro da Consciência
Significante
Forgetting is the most complicated of locks, but it is only a lock. It is not an eraser or a sword, it does not efface, nor does it kill; it imprisons. I know now that the mind picks up everything, files it, classifies it, and keeps it all. It all has meaning: even what I think I have not seen, heard, or felt, even what I think I haven't understood, even the minds of others. Every event, no matter how minuscule, no matter how ordinary (as, for example, stretching in the morning when yawning), is catalogued, labelled, and locked away in oblivion, but marked in consciousness by a signal which is often microscopic: a scented sprig, a flash of colour, a blinking light, a fragment of sensation, a shattering word. And less even than that: a rustling, an echo. And still less, even: a nothing that is nevertheless something.
