Memory never recaptures reality. Memory recon-structs. All reconstructions change the original, becoming external frames of reference that inevitably fall short. —MENTAT HANDBOOK

    You also dont see reality only reproduce it.

    Either memory or not you merely approximate to whatever is (evolutionary) programmed to be useful to realize based on the input you get.

    Memory or not, that does not matter. You might even get a more useful view retrospectively because being in the moment doesnt mean you are not less confused.
