I wonder if some of the memory problem is technology related.  I mean if you're 50% paying attention to your phone and 50% paying attention to the outside world of course you aren't going to remember as well.

When you have a smart something to do or figure things out for you it dumbs us down. Who needs to problem solve or remember things when you have google and Alexa. How many phone numbers do we have memorised any more? Some day people will be surprised at the things we used to do when ai has taken over so much, like drive a car. I'm sad for future generations actually.

As I followed the Braves in the early/mid 80s as they were the only team I could watch growing up in Florida on TBS (at 7:35PM), I remember:

Oberkfell 3b

Rafael Ramirez SS

Glenn Hubbard 2b

Gerald Perry/Bob Horner/Chris Chambliss 1b

Bruce Benedict C

Dale Murphy CF

Claudell Washington RF

Can't remember LF. Might have been Brad Komminsk.

I could probably name most of the late 70’s Pirates.  At least the significant players.  They were “my team” in our wiffle ball games.  Lol

more and more, the brain science is showing that the mind is like Einstein's space/time grid - neural pathways are grooved, first by life/parents, then by life/us/habit. the deeper the groove, the harder to see outside of it. every organism will do what is easiest if given an equal choice, so the brain will service the present groove before it will examine options. and the more & more of the tensile strength of the mind's grid which is used to perpetuate these ponderous grooves, the less & less service newness & variety receives. i would venture to guess that memory is affected by that as much as personality

but everything we learn about the brain shows how miraculously fluid & adaptive it is. now that God isn't running our brains anymore - even the most fervent believer feels 100s of times more autonomy than a century ago - we can groove our paths as lightly or deeply, seldom or often as we please. we only have to keep our focus from being as selfish as "God"'s to keep our personalities as open source as we want (tho learning to escape/overwrite old grooves requires more work than most folk want to do). that is what the challenge of these next times will be. currently, we are failing miserably but.....
