Memories, illusions, arrogance…

Scientists claiming to be able to delete specific memories. [1] The important detail: the “deletion” was made by inhibiting the process of the formation of memories DAYS after the events that created the memories. How could that happen if that inhibitor only blocks the formation of memories? And how could the blocking of the creation of memories solve the problem of WHERE the memories are finally stored? How can we know NO other memory was affected? By some simple tests “do you remember this game”? And how can we know that the memory is deleted or if we just blocked its recovery?

The key point: “scientists are not yet sure why powerful methamphetamine-related memories are also so fragile”.

We are playing with importan things like baboons are playing with a typewriter.

Like inventors who just don’t know why their new toy works. Just scratching the surface… Will we have the openmindness required to understand the true discovery when we see it?

Not being too eager to draw conclusions will define the final “winner”…

Spiros Kakos is a thinker located in Greece. He has been Chief Editor of Harmonia Philosophica since its inception. In the past he has worked as a senior technical advisor for many years. In his free time he develops software solutions and contributes to the open source community. He has also worked as a phD researcher in the Advanced Materials sector related to the PCB industry. He likes reading and writting, not only philosophy but also in general. He believes that science and religion are two sides of the same coin and is profoundly interested in Religion and Science philosophy. His philosophical work is mainly concentrated on an effort to free thinking of "logic" and reconcile all philosophical opinions under the umbrella of the "One" that Parmenides - one of the first thinkers - visualized. The "Harmonia Philosophica" articles program is the tool that will accomplish that. Life's purpose is to be defeated by greater things. And the most important things in life are illogical. We must fight the dogmatic belief in "logic" if we are to stay humans... Credo quia absurdum!
