Yes. Long term memory I can accept, at least after watching "Memento", but without short term you'd be stuck in an eternal present. Mind you, a capsule theory of memory (or a "Fred Hoyle's pigeon holes" theory) would say that each observer moment contains its own set of memories. But then that leads to problems with what an OM actually is. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
