I dunno enough, because I .....uh....forget, though hypnosis and this
gambit are certainly fascinating if not
sorta of risky, because terrible memories are better-off forgotten,
though don't take that cliche or perception to the (memory) bank re
anything i'm b.s.ing about especially this.

So what are the other philosophy angles of this apparently new
finding?

Well, do more people have photographic memories than previously
thought?

Wow, that's something, because what if I could recall perfectly every
damne thing I ever saw, read, thought about...nah...that wouldn't be
all great for me and society.

Would it make me omniscent, or at least omni-gifted?

Yeahhh, by gosh, gifted.

Everybody could be above average, which is a non-tautology or mal-
syllogism tho at least a super-moronic statement even if garrrrisson
keillor
uses it as a joke about his above average hometown.

The "philosophy of fully remembering things past:" Mr. Proust call
your publisher.

Well, time is money...and also relative to atomic bomb matter.

No. Lame. Nutty.

Card counting at a casino?

YEAH. that's the real purpose, and ya don't even have to have an MIT
brag on a resume to be able to do it.

This is philosophy, jerk.

If eveybody or many, many had super memories, would they be "smarter?"

That's really pyschology more than philosophy, but what ain't?

Yes, it would enhance the lives of humankind.

How?

Well, you could win trivia contests at bars having slow nights.

And, spelling bees, "learning" obscure dictionary words, ..uh....

Aha, so memory has to do with "learning?"

We stimulate the brain cells of students that otherwise are doomed to
a David Riccardoesque
reality, jail cell, or worse degradations.

That's exactly why i submitted a term paper on acetyl choline in an
education course years ago.

WORM RUNNERS DIGEST by McConnell is my memory of a successful memory
transfer experiment in education psych back in the 20th century.

So, try it.
