How to Train Your Brain to Remember Everything
Something has always bothered me about the type of memory technique mentioned in the article.There's a sense, in which it is a 'junk' association, to associate 'zero' with Ozzy Ozbourne eating a bat's head.
Do I really want to have many such associations in my mind?Is there a cost?  Our brains are bounded in volume, energy, complexity; there have to be limits and costs? I've always been wary about such mnemonic techniques, on these grounds - but I don't know if this caution makes any sense.
Anyone?
