No fooling, I aced an online "Do you have a photographic memory?" test. (For fun)

BUT, it takes a few seconds to pull up memories from the gray memory bank.

It's perfectly normal, and remember that a quick answer from a memorized script of nonsense and lies is NOT a cognitive skill. It's a conditioned response.

Thought takes time, so we build ultra-computers to think for us. Regardless of the bull 💩 result. I worked with many an asshole in Silicon Valley who was just like that.
