00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:04,080
Speaker 1: Aro dot net, arre dot net. Not just one podcast,

2
00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:07,799
it's twenty different podcasts to choose from, one of them

3
00:00:07,839 --> 00:00:12,279
being something our parents would say, all of those things

4
00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:15,560
that even your grandparents would pop up from out of nowhere.

5
00:00:15,599 --> 00:00:19,039
And you're like, what it makes sense, but really what

6
00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:21,679
it shocks me when I have to go back three

7
00:00:21,679 --> 00:00:24,039
and four hundred years to find the roots of something

8
00:00:24,199 --> 00:00:27,600
like this something our parents would say only on ero

9
00:00:27,719 --> 00:00:33,119
dot net aarr Oe dot net. Enjoy your exploration here.

10
00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:35,920
I am that guy that's always asking questions, and the

11
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:38,520
reason why is because it's very fun to start researching

12
00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:43,880
for answers. How much of our life actually goes unremembered?

13
00:00:44,399 --> 00:00:47,960
Plus is it true that we only remember twenty to

14
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:51,439
thirty things out of each year. My name is Arrow.

15
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:54,000
I'm a daily writer, a silent wolf. That means I

16
00:00:54,079 --> 00:00:57,280
stand on the sidelines and do nothing but watch, listen, study,

17
00:00:57,679 --> 00:01:01,079
then activate. I call it the Daily Mess mainly because

18
00:01:01,119 --> 00:01:03,600
it's a chronological walk through an everyday world, which means

19
00:01:03,679 --> 00:01:07,239
it is my morning writing as a receiver of thoughts

20
00:01:07,239 --> 00:01:10,000
and ideas. We as people tend to thrill things to

21
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:14,799
the side because we think we're gonna deal with it later. On. Well,

22
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:17,400
when a subject arrives inside of me, I know it

23
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:21,840
is time to dig in. It's still keeping that daily journal,

24
00:01:21,879 --> 00:01:26,480
but bute. But by doing that research, the picture becomes clearer.

25
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:31,239
This is the daily mess. How much of our life

26
00:01:31,719 --> 00:01:35,280
goes unremembered? Oh, you gotta brace yourself for this one.

27
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:40,920
Research clearly shows a huge portion of our life goes

28
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:45,560
one hundred percent unremembered. We should always keep in mind

29
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:47,959
that our memory is not locked in on creating a

30
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:52,760
continuous recording. It plays out like a highlight reel. Cognitive

31
00:01:52,799 --> 00:01:57,680
research suggests that most daily experiences are never stored in

32
00:01:57,799 --> 00:02:02,799
long term memory banks. Your brain is constantly receiving huge

33
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:08,479
amounts of sensory input. Now, psychologists estimate that ninety to

34
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:12,039
ninety nine percent of the moment by moment experiences that

35
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:16,319
we all go through totally disappear from us in hours

36
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:20,840
and or just minutes. Whew, the cold hard facts. Your

37
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:25,599
memories require meaning or emotion. Other factors that allow a

38
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:28,319
memory to hang out a little bit longer include novelty

39
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:32,479
and surprises, repetition, and having a personal importance. And yes,

40
00:02:32,879 --> 00:02:35,439
it's very true that many of us do not remember

41
00:02:35,479 --> 00:02:41,000
our childhood before four years old. It is called childhood amnesia.

42
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:44,680
Memories are made to fade. Let me say that one

43
00:02:44,759 --> 00:02:49,719
more time. Memories are made to fade. Your brain experiences

44
00:02:50,159 --> 00:02:54,919
millions of events, but only retains fragments of them, which

45
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:57,800
basically means you ain't making a movie. It is a

46
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:02,759
movie trailer instead. Hey, coming up next, Is it true

47
00:03:03,319 --> 00:03:06,879
that just maybe there's only like twenty or thirty things

48
00:03:06,879 --> 00:03:11,520
that we remember in a single year. Hey, welcome back

49
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:14,680
to the daily mess. Is it true that maybe twenty

50
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:18,280
or thirty things are actually remembered out of every single year.

51
00:03:18,319 --> 00:03:20,479
I mean, we're talking three hundred and thirty five days

52
00:03:20,759 --> 00:03:23,840
out of three hundred and sixty five seriously per year.

53
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:29,800
Wait a second here, This is not true. Information not true.

54
00:03:30,599 --> 00:03:35,000
The idea comes from research on distinctive memory days, but

55
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:38,199
it doesn't connect us to a short list of memory making.

56
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:43,000
This study is actually based on when asked about a

57
00:03:43,039 --> 00:03:46,280
certain year, you and I, we tend to recall only

58
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:48,759
twenty or thirty things. You see where we're going here,

59
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:53,560
Mainly because most days are routine and blend together. We

60
00:03:53,639 --> 00:03:57,240
tend to store our memories in patterns and themes. Very

61
00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:00,280
very very few of us, unless you're a d daily

62
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:04,919
writer like myself. No one truly keeps daily records of

63
00:04:04,919 --> 00:04:07,879
what you're remembering. So what happens to the memories when

64
00:04:07,919 --> 00:04:11,080
we can't just instantly bring them up, Well, they're stored

65
00:04:11,159 --> 00:04:15,080
inside a compressed script. The brain is locked in on

66
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:20,360
summarizing our routine life. Number one reason to save on

67
00:04:20,519 --> 00:04:24,920
cognitive space. A routine year will always feel like it's

68
00:04:24,959 --> 00:04:29,680
flying by, whereas a full year of big changes woo,

69
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:32,399
that's going to feel like it's lasted forever. But then again,

70
00:04:32,439 --> 00:04:36,879
that's based on hindsight. If your weak does feel long,

71
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:41,959
it's called a vacation paradox. That proves that being very

72
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:48,279
bored can actually slow down time. I'm Errol, and that's

73
00:04:48,519 --> 00:04:49,439
the daily mess.
