I’d choose to remember memories. Why delete anything? Even the bad memories are important, they define us as people, they are an important experience that teaches us not to repeat the same mistakes, etc

@Logical-Scholar that's a tough question, deleting memories can remove anxiety from public speeches for example, phobias etc.
Remembering anything is also very useful, but there's a limit to what we can remember, plus remembering everything you hear from some person for example.. fuck that

I'd go for deleting ability

@LaCraig Will do!

@Noxar why choose to delete some memory that might not be comfortable for you instead of learning to deal with it?

@Noxar There is actually a fuck ton of stuff a human being can remember

@sasha because you would delete the ones you can't deal with no matter what.

Some trauma, PTSD, etc.

Try count all English vocabularies for example

I know them all in my head

well most

And a good share of Italian once

If you have ability to learn a language then learning an individual subject is nothing

Yes we can remember a lot, but there's a limit, our brain isn't infinite in size and it's pretty well documented our brain automatically discards useless memories, because, well, they are useless - garbage - takes up space @Logical-Scholar

It would be great to have both abilities

delete what you don't want and remember what you want

@Noxar I guess it is good for people with mental problems, traumas, as you’ve stated. But other than that, I don’t see any use to deleting memories to those who don’t suffer any of those

But the delete memory ability is hard to use responsibly

like people will use it like weed, escape problems

it's well documented Weed makes you forget easily

True

hence people use it to escape life

We technically already have a way to remember everything - for a long time - books and today High capacity hard drives which we can take with us anywhere, hell even SSDs on our phones,
Flash drives @Logical-Scholar

Also, isn't this essentially transhumanism, I thought you were against it @Logical-Scholar

I am against changing our DNA for the unnatural yeah, I was thinking more of a fantasy scenario because it makes for speculations on how you want to act

I could ask it more realistically, like do you want to either smoke weed or nonstop memrise

Assuming I can change the world to be a better place - memories
In case that's not possible, not weed but a bullet to the head tbh

Yes, because that' physically impossible

Urbanism naturally breeds cosmopolitan, left wing thoughts

@Gaguchi yes but only insofar as I believe in democracy

Which is only when it is convenient

@Noxar Hmm in Croatia the cities of Zadar, Split and Dubrovnik are more Fascist than basically the entire rurality of Istria

It can literally never switch like that, its impossible
Big city life creates leftism

Ideally city dwellers would not have the right to vote at all

Monarch as the executive power with an elected Legaslite branch @Gaguchi

Uh, not doing democracy?

It's pretty easy

Literally every other system

Also, daily reminder that Democracy is not a government form @Gaguchi

Urban folks follow what is mainstream

You act like it's impossible to not have these ridiculous elections

Democracy is a decision making process in Which simple majority automatically wins
