I have an eidetic memory and have had to learn instead how to ‘forget’ what my mind is ‘photographing’ for fear of over-cluttering my brain with sometimes useless information. Lately though Ive been wondering if something like Alzheimer’s couldn’t be caused by something as simple as deleting large amounts of memory from our phones/computers etc… leaving vast holes in our brains (or ozone, if in fact all is connected like we think it is)far fetched, maybe, but if this is in fact a digital universe, and we are not just connected to one another but the Earth, the Universe (and to some like myself believe the universe is a very large commutative brain) it stands to reason that something like Alzheimer’s collectively could in fact be a digital ailment. Same with Fubromyalgia (sp.). Just a thought

Really interesting thought! Eidetic memory sounds like a gift but also a lot to carry. I like how you’re connecting it to bigger systems. Alzheimer’s as a kind of digital ailment is far out, but it makes you wonder if memory in the universe and in us are more linked than we realize.
