What would a "time eclipse" look like? If you could block out brightest, most energetic threads of memory, so you could see "memory coronas" and "stars"? Like "importance amnesia"? The more important something seems, the more likely it is to be blocked in the eclipse? 🤔

Straightforward chronos amnesia where you forget everything about a particular block of time, full blackout, is kinda uninteresting. Kairos amnesia that acts on threads of the stream of consciousness is what I'm interested in.

This would be an emotional blockage, right? Emotion is what determines the brightness level. People already do this. They pretend something didn't happen, or doesn't matter, so they aren't blinded and can see the things around it. Basically holding their hand over the event.

What’s the best way to do this in a controlled artificial way? I agree emotional charge is baseline how brightness is modulated, though not entirely (for eg, 9/11 is coded as very important in my head but not supercharged emotionally at a personal level)
