Just added it to my spaced-forgetting app, to definitively omit it from memory. I've made unlearning a deliberate choice.

Incidentaly, Shereshevsky - the 5-sense synaesthete with a nearly perfect memory - apparently tried pretty hard to find ways to forget. This is Wikipedia; Luria's book has quite a bit more: pic.twitter.com/0tiFQXXo1T

my dad had designed one such inventory that my middle school ended up using years later
I mentioned that night at dinner that I'd taken it and reported myself as a habitual cocaine user
he looked really dispirited
just so defeated

"Extended lizardman thing" is already surprisingly evocative.
