[ExI] Superior Autobiographical Memory

[Henrique Moraes Machado (CI)]

<Max More>
I wish I had seen this. My autobiographical memory seems to be particulary 
weak. I've learned to compensate by keeping written notes of events, because 
I know that I'm likely to forget them otherwise -- unless they are extremely 
vivid. For instance, Spike and others were recently talking about some 
eminent people who attended an Extro conference, yet I have NO memory of 
that.
I consider this a major disability and it makes me sad.
I have very pictures from childhood, so very few memory cues. Things have 
improved over the years as photos and other forms of information about 
events have become ever more prolific and convenient.
Does anyone else here have the sense that their memory of past events is 
particularly poor?

That depends. I have perfect recall of every embarassment I've had in my 
entire life. But the rest is harder to remember.
