    Have you ever entered a room and forgot why you came in?

    How about your dreams at night? Or what you had for dinner last month?

    I think that memory-deletion is much more common than we think. Like vast invisible whales floating through your living room.

    Of course we’d never know it.

        I wonder if a general approach to inducing amnesia would be the best approach.

        I think that we always take what we’ve got - what we see, memories - no matter how flimsy, and stitch together a plausible narrative from that.

        So the amnesia doesn’t have to be very precise. Our amnesiator could basically be just a brain damage ray
