Neuroscientists successfully test theory that forgetting is actually a form of learning
Neuroscientists today report the first results from experimental tests designed to explore the idea that "forgetting" might not be a bad thing, and that it may represent a form of learning—and outline results that support their core idea.
It astounds me how some of the things we've implemented in computer technology have shown to be true with us as well, this is exactly how a hard drive works, if you wipe it's memory, unless you do a full clean, it just removes the lookup table for all the data, you can still retrieve the data unless it's overwritten by something else.
I genuinely think the gap to bridge between bio-organic computers/augmentations is not as wide as we once thought
This example alone is not the only reason, there are other breakthroughs that have made me think this, but this one is also very interesting
17I am just a compiler with a very limited library, alas.
4It's more protocol issues and good hardware at this point, I think... and implementation that doesn't risk increasing megalomaniacs' power over others.

I must be great at learning.
9"I've forgotten more about this subject than you ever even knew!"

Education is what remains after one has forgotten what one has learned in school.

You need to forget about the details in order to grasp the essence.
6I must be the most learned person then! Because I forget everything now. Too much to do. Brain too small.
