A Importância de Esquecer

Jonah Lehrer recupera a história do Funes, O Memorioso de Jorge Luis Borges para exortar a importância do esquecimento na consolidação das memórias.

The moral of Borges' short story is that forgetting is a crucial part of remembering. It lets us make efficient use of our mental hard drive. We are constantly updating our remembrances in terms of what we know now, trying to forget the memories that we no longer need.

Um tema interessante, a que voltarei após as férias.
