All the words in quotes made me "curious". Alas, they weren't insinuating anything more "spicey".
Anyway, interesting article. I'm not suprised by it, however. While I'm not a fan of likening the brain to, say, a computer hard-drive with limited space, it is obvious that there would be some very big problems with never forgetting even the smallest thing.
One of our great advantages as human beings is our ability to think
forewardly; reasoning and "predicting" what will happen in the future (no, I don't mean Rasputin type things, but we know that metal gets red when it's heated, therefore if we see glowing metal we should probably not touch it). I wonder if the people like the lady mentioned in the article (with the "autobigraphical" memory) have any problems thinking in the future, or if both processes can co-exist with the only draw back of being "haunted" by everything you've ever experienced.
