are your memories more about events or circumstances

@blue_traveler i was wondering whether this is a normal human thing but probably didn't pick the clearest way to ask -
@blue_traveler maybe if it's not a normal human thing then it has implications for what decisions will make me happy/functional

@VesselOfSpirit Same. Also, particular details and thoughts from very small windows of time. -
@VesselOfSpirit Seems like it's more or less qualia, but there are some sort of rigorous studies about types of memory, via collected report -
@VesselOfSpirit anecdotally-people who've experienced trauma recall odd bits of information but have difficulty reconstructing the narrative -
@VesselOfSpirit Hypothesize your def of circumstances are more or less real sensory memories, others are constructed, episodic memory -
@blue_traveler that sounds right. although i think my most valuable mind states have been the ones i only declaratively remember having had

@VesselOfSpirit@blue_traveler Time spent in waiting rooms, cafeteria, courtyards always highly memorable part of hospital visits. -
@preinfarction@VesselOfSpirit everything about smoking a cigarette outside of the church, nothing at all about the services -
@blue_traveler@preinfarction@VesselOfSpirit yeah no, very few waiting room memories here. I remember more plot. -
@NotOfSuns@preinfarction@VesselOfSpirit So you're pretty sure of those memories' authenticity, huh?pic.twitter.com/aoN8jqB9iS -
@NotOfSuns When was the last time you saw the sun? Not "just the other day," I mean specifically.pic.twitter.com/JzrifIlSbg
