Maintaining memorized information only as long as it is required to achieve a real goal is a feature, not a bug. That almost everything taught in school is forgotten shortly after is an indictment of a system determined to embed largely useless info, not of students' character.

My claim isn't that "be able to free-associate over these X,000 pages for a few months" (or years) is valueless; it's that it's not something that can be *taught,* and that it has *less* (though non-zero) value in the internet age relative to what a non-amenable brain could do.
