Only 10 people on the planet have total recall.

[the other mike]

Imagine being able to remember every minute detail of your life. You can recall what the weather was like, what you were reading or what you wore to the shops at any minute, any hour or any day stretching back decades.

Thats trippy!!!
Not sure if it's a blessing or a curse.
I have a better than average memory and can remember shit from when I was a 3 years old but some of these people freak me out!!!

No thanks...plenty of stuff I'm happy to have forgotten.

It's more than 10 people. I have always had perfect recall, all senses.

 

[fncceo]

I have perfect recall for everything I want to remember.

Who cares about the rest?

Do these people merely remember details like pages in a book or are they compelled to relive the emotions connected to every moment in their lives. It seems to me that it would be hell on earth.

Yeah depends how one "files it" It can be an image of a page. No emotionally it's nothing but water under the bridge and can't be changed. I can only describe it as a filing system, if I need to remember something it may not be there instantly but think on it and it always comes. However like FNCCEO says, some things are not important enough to file and one knows it.

Hell? HELL? In ways it sure is. People that don't recall, don't remember shit,,,,, but they will sure force what they think they do remember on you as gospel truth. "You said this" Ummmm, no, I didn't,,, and I didn't.
