4 days agoI used to think I had a terrible memory until I realized I can recall every tone shift in every argument my parents ever had but not what I ate yesterday. My memory works fine. It was just trained on threat detection instead of daily life. - Silicon Canals
People from unpredictable environments develop heightened memory for threat signals and emotional cues as a survival mechanism, not a memory deficiency.
