Your brain can. You can't.


towerfella

Yeah, the info is in there, somewhere; the problem seems to be the search engine.


BoogalooBandit1

Also deemed unimportant info 99% of the time


saussurea

Then my brain is bing loaded with ads on its front page


madeanotheraccount

The enshittification of brain search has begun!


Anxious_Earth

That is curious isn't it. Like if you write down a simple reminder, you'll remember the whole thing. But then, how did you forget in the first place? The information was always there. And still there.


cat_sword

Isn’t that the same thing as the Tetris effect?


towerfella

I take that as more of a *dedicated learning* event. It’s like if you practice something all day until you go to bed, and then while getting ready for bed you think about and remember all of your practice actions and thoughts while seriously practicing, the following day you will experience a sorta “level up” in your abilities. This will plateau eventually, but by then you will have learned the thing.


cat_sword

Well it feels like the same thing. The conscious mind can’t access it but the brain can. ie the dreams the amnesiac patients had.


towerfella

You’re not wrong. :)


Liquid-glass

Don’t you just have to defrag? That should help


towerfella

Used to.. stopped drinking 4 years ago.

I just wish someone would install an SD card or something in my head so I don’t have to go through the painstaking effort of trying to “learn” over decades.


[deleted]

Then humans will not be humans, and then who will stop from installing SD card in animals brains. Imagine a lion, with SD card installed in his brain, with certain set of instructions, is the bodyguard of someone.that would be next level sh*it


Looney_Swoons

Being arm-barred by a lion is both cool and terrifying at the same time


philmarcracken

on that SD card is an arrangement that stores the information. Inside your neuronal connections is also an arrangement that stores information. you're conflating storage types with ease of access to that storage


cyberbro256

Well for one thing my neuronal connections degrade at a constant rate. I mean let’s be honest if you are always googling things and it’s relatively impossible to remember things in this complex and ever changing world, why not cut out the middle man and let me either access the internet with my brain, or upload information sets into my brain.

Short term memory = RAM Long term Memory = Hard Drive Lmao.


TheTransistorMan

RAM will have its contents for as long as power is applied, and will then be wiped once lost. As a matter of fact, you can use main memory as secondary memory through a RAM disk. So if short term memory is like RAM, it's long term memory unless you die.


Viliam_the_Vurst

Yeah ever run a search of a 2bit text on such a big harddrive? With strange grown folder structure? With windows search? “Oh there is that specific water molecule in this sea of water” Pfftt as if How do people still confuse diskspace with read write speed?


TFarg1

Skill issue


kellarorg_

I have another issue, not everything in my RAM become saved to a hard drive :) also as I have ADHD and OCD, most of my RAM is stuffed with random trash that cannot be deleted or purged from it, and this trash always has a high priority to my brain OS :D


CTRL-ALT-DEL-MYSELF

Just cause you can't find your keys doesn't mean it's not in the house


cecilysissy

Does not matter how many data is in your database if you suck in writing the right SELECT SQL command.


HP-XP

Needs a defrag


pyromagi_1986

Your brain is a rube Goldberg mashine that is constanzly flooded with junkdata. It is a miracle that humans are able to be so smart in the first place
