This is an absolute STUNNING (and totally horrifying) report, Melissa .... right now, I've been trying to find whatever happened to all my iPhone calendar entries back to when I first GOT an iPhone (i got one the day after the first one was ever issued) at which point, like an IDIOT I stopped keeping any paper diary. Now, working on my memoirs, I am a total LOSS !
Thank you, David! I hear you regarding digital loss. I've lost God knows how many articles that I've written into the black hole. Feel free to help me boost subscriptions. I was just looking at my numbers and wondering the same.
So I started my comment and immediately received a demand that I verify my existence. It took me three tries to succeed but I survived because my brain still tells me I'm real. Your awesome piece leaves me thinking about how our brain's ways of learning and of processing have changed over time. That used to takeveons, then maybe generations. Now probably not so long.
Excellent piece that emphasizes the importance of taking care of our brains and preserving our own informal archives, since the official records are no longer trustworthy.

WOW. This brings the Kali Yuga into focus in a way I haven’t seen it before! Thank you 🙏
