“I've always said if somebody wrote a book and they took their whole life to learn that knowledge in that book, why you won't just read that book to learn what they know?

“As we get older it is our short term memory that fades rather than our long term memory. Perhaps we have evolved like this so that we are able to tell the younger generation about the stories and experiences that have formed us which may be important to subsequent generations if they are to thrive.I worry though, about what might happen to our minds if most of the stories we hear are about greed, war, and atrocity” IfsMindMayLongImportantWarStoriesMightHappensAbleTermMemoriesWorryGenerationsGreedLong TermThriveFadesShort TermAtrocitiesYounger GenerationShort Term Memory Book:How to Stay Sane Source: How to Stay Sane
