This is so profound, well written, and such an important message. Especially for those in school where heavy coursework can have such a negative impact on mental health..have to remember to actually sleep(!). This scientific attribution to memory and sociological lessons is very interesting. In the field of anthropology, there is this framework called 'collective memory' (most notably the work of Paul Connerton "How Societies Remember") that explores this idea on a broader scale. How heritage is remembered by communities and reenacted in ritual and ceremony as ways of remembering a communities history. Before this post, I hadn't really considered these cultural anecdotes and their connection to memory or how superstition and memory are entangled on a very personal level. Thanks for the perspective and insight! Awesome read!
