Dr. Jim Stevenson asks
: How about the emotional effects on memory. I believe we remember
: almost every detail about the times when we fell in love. [...]
I sure don't. Maybe I've never been in love.
: Memories of trauma are stored differently.
Greg Chalfin once said that the Romans used to find a small boy and
beat him up while reciting the terms of a contract, so that the boy
would vividly retain it. Greg suggested that sexual envy could be
even better for the purpose. "Hey, Vesuvio-face! Octavilla and I are
going up to Mulholland to make out like rabbits! And Livius promises
to repay Caeso three hundred sesterces at six per cent per annum!"
