Let’s talk about forgetting. About our capacity to store, in the hidden compartments of our subconscious, events, dates and anecdotes that we don’t want to remember and that make us trip over the same stone (or piece of seaweed in this case) hundreds of times, making history repeat itself over and over again.
We survive in a liquid environment, said Zygmunt Bauman. Everything slides out of reach; we think and hide in an apparently stable false society that floats in a watery medium, while everything slips from our grasp. Everything is encouraged by a “society of forgetting” where what isn’t remembered is not important, and we are led inevitably to making the same mistakes.
Based on the expression “memory like a fish” we undersign the concept of “Selective Alzheimer’s” as a name for this control via forgetting.
