  • It’s awesome that you don’t have to remember what software you’re using underneath. I looked into it before I installed it, but I’d have to check which one I went with. I also have no idea what graphics card I’m using, which headset I’m using, what brand of eyeglass cleaner I’m using etc. I looked into it at the time, made a choice and promptly forgot about why and filled my brain with other things.

    If I remembered which database I was running it means that I’d have enough problems with it that I’d look at it a lot.


  • Learning the form then forgetting the form is pretty normal in any discipline. First you learn how to do it, like how to punch, kick and block. Then you learn sequences and combinations. You learn these to perfection. When your body knows the moves you can start improvising and you need to forget the sequences and combinations in order to adapt.

    Same goes for all art, applied science, most jobs, even social structures, economic models etc. First you learn the basics, then you learn the complex rules, when you master then you can break the rules and improve upon it.
