Isekai Taneuma

When I get old, my forgetfulness becomes intense. I can't even remember what I just did. None of you will have seen the elderly grasp it seriously and get tired of it once. I told them I couldn't help it because I was old, and it was no consolation to them.

However, when asked about their childhood memories with the intention of changing the subject, they suddenly speak alive. It tells the story of decades ago in detail, like what happened yesterday.

It's strange that the elderly have trouble remembering what happened just now, but they can remember as much as they used to. Do you really remember that much? And the incredible memory is wrapped around their tongues, but they can recall the situation as if they were watching it in a movie.

And when we hear it, we believe it unconditionally. Because we somehow remember ourselves.

Compared to the elderly, we may still be just about the age of the entrance to life, but we still remember more about what happened as children than about recent events.

Of course, I don't remember everyday events with no other love, but such as a car accident, passing an exam, being confessed by a child I like... such a big event that I can call a milestone in my life, you can remember clearly as if the video footage was playing in my brain.

These important memories are called flash valve memories. It's not about the toilet valves, it's about the vivid memories we had when we burned the flash in the photos... but we store the memories in our brains as images, and we think we can play them back and rewind them whenever we want. And I think that this settled memory is strong, and as I get older, I will not forget it even if I get bogged down.

But are you sure? No one can confirm the old tale of the elderly now. And can I swallow what they're saying?

Flash valve memory is an accurate memory that we can never forget, and we tend to think there is no mistake there. Because nobody remembers that mistakes are hidden there because they remind us of the situation so that we can play back the video.

But this preconceived view is an absolute mistake. The robust memory that we have as a video is, in fact, entirely unsuitable.

Even the most important memories of life that you can remember right now may actually be mixed with lies.

In September 2011, when a psychologist was working in a lab, a special story appeared on television. On September 11th, just ten years ago, that abominable simultaneous American terrorist attack broke out, Newscaster said.

The scholar who was also working in the lab that day asked his colleagues who were also working if they remembered that time. Simultaneous terrorist attacks are, needless to say, an important part of life for Americans and an unforgettable event to forget. Naturally, the colleague also said he remembered it like it was yesterday. However, when the two of them were talking while remembering the day, the conversation didn't intersect.

After a brief explanation of their behavior on the day... when they were working in the lab, graduate student A rushed in and told the first report that it had been a big deal. I was surprised to gather information on the internet when I heard that the second plane had broken into the building and turned on the TV in a hurry. And after watching TV with the students in the lab, they were not going to work anymore today, so they went home and they went home.

There was no doubt that the two of us had a consensus on what happened that day in this way, but the details were different. For example, in the first report of the incident, student A remembered that he did not rush into the lab, but screamed in another room... I thought that he saw the scene of the plane breaking into the lab with the students, not the plane breaking into the lab when I was examining the information online... Not all of them went home, and some of them claimed that they remained in the lab until night, so there were some parts that could not be messed with.

The scholars, who thought this was strange, remembered the incident as accurately as possible and e-mailed it to the teachers at the time.

"Do you remember that day?

The contents of the emails returned were so fragmented that everyone else insisted that his memory was correct.

"The teacher may say so, but I can remember seeing the events of the day in the movies."

Their disagreement can only be attributed to incorrect memories that can be remembered like the movie. In other words, they store the wrong events in their brains as if they were real.

Nothing meant that the people in this lab were particularly stupid. In fact, many Americans mistakenly remember the events of 9/11.

For example, in the case of Salesman B. He was on a commuter train far from Manhattan on the morning of September 11, 2001. Then all of a sudden, the passengers around him started making noise and someone just said that a jumbo jet had entered the WTC building. I thought I was searching for news on my mobile phone, but I wonder what a second plane broke in this time, and he couldn't get to work that day because of the shock.

For example, in the case of housewife C. She dropped off the three children who had to eat at school before turning on the TV with the rest of her breakfast. Newscaster then told the WTC that a passenger plane had entered, apparently terrorizing it, and video like a CG that the passenger plane was sucked into the building repeatedly. I thought maybe you were fooled by something too unrealistic, but soon the news program switched to live footage and a second passenger plane stormed the building. Thinking that something terrible had happened, she spent the whole day watching the collapsing building call to make sure her family was safe.

Perhaps while you were reading this story, you remembered the same thing. By the way, have you noticed that there are already some mistakes in this story?

First of all, when the first passenger plane entered the WTC building, the passengers of the commuter train on which the salaryman was riding made a noise. In fact, when the first plane entered, the world was hardly noisy, nor were Americans.

Because immediately after the first plane jumped in, no one knew what had happened, and the information itself was scarce. The media that rushed to the scene also had as little information as what happened at the WTC.

Besides, there's been a bomb riot at the WTC for a long time, and even if there was an incident there, they didn't take it seriously. Accurate information that the plane had broken in was also flowing, but I didn't think it was a "passenger jumbo jet", and most people only thought it was a small cesna that had made a flight mistake. After the second plane broke in, the famous footage was released to the whole world.

So the news that the second housewife saw it is also a big lie. Because, in fact, the footage of the first aircraft colliding with the building did not exist on the day of the incident.

No, some people would say that they did see the first direct attack on the building, but it must have been found a few weeks after the incident. It was a mistake to see it that day.

If you think about it, it's obvious. If someone is going to shoot the first plane, they need to know in advance that the terrorists are hijacking the plane and breaking into the building. Only the executor and bin Laden know that, so if there's footage, it must have been taken by accident. It was impossible for the media to obtain such a thing in that messy scene.

That's why there was no footage of the first plane entering the building on that day.

However, many Americans mistakenly remember seeing the footage on the day of the incident. I was watching TV that day, and suddenly the news of a plane colliding with the WTC started, and as the footage of the first crashing into the building repeatedly streamed, the second crashed into the building in real time... oh, my God, that's what President Bush thinks.

Americans are parties and victims. It's an unforgettable event if you want to forget it. And why do you make such an impossible memory difference?

That's because what happens there is true, even if their memories are wrong.

The multiple simultaneous terrorist attacks in the United States did not all end on the day they occurred. Thereafter, the search for the culprit began, on-site verification was carried out, and the war in Afghanistan broke out, and the footage continued to flow every year or so. The first video was also discovered, allowing people around the world to know exactly what happened that day in chronological order.

Trying to recall the events of the day in this situation is a mess with the information that has already been discovered and the true memory. Which memory was true? When you think about it, people think that the time series is more consistent information than fragmented memories. And while a lot of people were watching the news over and over again, they updated their memories of what happened on the day of the incident.

You're such an idiot. I can think of that day as possible, but I want you to recall what happened in the psychologist's lab instead of saying that this memory is not wrong. They were in the same lab that day and they were supposed to be doing the same thing, but their memories were so fragmented. However, everyone confidently said that they were right. Everyone had a flash valve memory.

Let me say it again. Even a flash valve memory that is as vivid as a video and can recall the time, it cannot be counted as a human memory.

If you think about it, isn't it obvious? Everyone will have about the experience of soaking overnight for the test. Why do you think it is easier to remember long term memories when we are struggling with short term memories?

Our memories, however clear they may be, are not always correct. Apparently, memory is like digital data in the brain, and it's not exactly engraved from what to what, it's like fragmented information is scattered everywhere.

At best, it seems to have been hungry, eaten, delicious, or something.

And when it plays back memories, it seems that the brain connects its incomplete memories (data) to create a consistent story and reproduce the situation.

In other words, there is an actor in the brain called Qualia, who plays an emotional stage each time he is given a script called Memory.

For us, it appears as a video on a screen in the brain. And because the footage is so vivid, I don't think mistakes are lurking there. But it is so fragmented that each person sees things differently.

I don't know who said that, but life is like a movie played by an actor named you. It may not always be a mistake. Even with the same event, the way things are handled varies from person to person, and it changes over time. In the end, everyone will have separate memories.

It doesn't matter who is right or who is wrong about each person's memory, it doesn't come to a conclusion. Unless there's any footage of the day.

If you think about it, the reason that older people will always remember their childhood memories is actually because they keep updating their memories. In the evidence, they always say it was good in the old days.

Memories are always beautiful because they are creatures that people forget. We leave only memories that are convenient to us, and we forget things that we don't like. If I were you, I wouldn't be alive by now, would I?

Qualia is replicating our incomplete memories by turning them into consistent stories. This is how I was born.

If you replace my qualia with someone else's, that qualia will create another experience from the memory of my brain. In other words, a different person with different memories is born while experiencing the same experience.

I am not the person who created the memories that have lived so far, but the person that QUARIA has just created.

A human being is a creature that cherishes memory, so even if he says so, he may not come yet. But if you think of someone with memory loss, you'll somehow understand. Even if they lose their memories, they will not lose their personality. Our memories depend, in fact, on our personality.

After all, what does this memory look like when someone else peeks at it? Where will I disappear then?

If there was a second quality in me that was different from mine... I wonder if it was me. Or will it be something else... me... me...
