    Memory Masters destroying the last of their childhood memories so they can add another 80,000 digits of pi to their mind palace.

    context

    Memory Mastery is a technique where you force your brain to remember random information by formatting it in a certain way, some people have gone on to use this trick to memorize millions of digits of pi. A study recently came out confirming that every time you make a new memory it destroys an old one, so every time someone makes a “memory palace” it comes at the cost of older memories, such as in childhood.
