MEMORIES
i heard on the radio about a man who only had memories for less than a second after he'd been ill and hurt his brain.
if he had a chocolate in his hand and covered it up, every time it was uncovered he had a new chocolate. he got upset because he kept wondering where the chocolate came from.
i heard something on the radio about planting things at certain times of the moon.
i heard these things and i got to wondering. i got to wondering about whether there was such a thing as species-specific memory or cultural memory.
we all get, y'know, so arrogant it seems to me about progress and inventions and stuff and we think of them cave dwellers who lived in, like, 1960 or something as being so dim, y'know?
well perhaps them peasants of 1200ad or something actually knew a few things about some stuff. just may be.
and may be we got our heads so far up our porche boxsters that we don't even know how to tune into those memories no more.
