      Just added it to my spaced-forgetting app, to definitively omit it from memory. I've made unlearning a deliberate choice.

      Incidentaly, Shereshevsky - the 5-sense synaesthete with a nearly perfect memory - apparently tried pretty hard to find ways to forget. This is Wikipedia; Luria's book has quite a bit more:pic.twitter.com/0tiFQXXo1T

      Yes, though I hadn't realized previously it was the same person. Just re-read this (prompted by your tweet), & it was fascinating to put two and two together: http://bactra.org/weblog/484.html

      Haha, I always forget to apply this kind of skepticism. Is there a good name/handle for this problem? Kind of an extended Lizardman thing?pic.twitter.com/eqJczObDEN

          "Extended lizardman thing" is already surprisingly evocative.
