If you could completely forget specific memories forever, would you choose to do it? - General

Scenerio: technology exists that allows people to choose and delete their own memories with no chance of recovery. Doing so would alter your personality as if that memory never happened. Would it be a good or bad idea for you or others to use such a device on themselves if it were to exist? For me, [sp]only on the useless bad memories that I haven't learned anything from[/sp]

hell yeah I would means I get to enjoy my favorite movies and games as if it were the first time.

That one fucked up Simpson claymation.

Nah. The things I would actually want gone are endemic to me/my environment so it wouldn't do any good lol

Hell yeah,i can erase accidental spoiler and other horrible thing i remember in past.

Erasing bad memories bounds you to repeat the same mistakes that triggered them in the first place.

i want to forget the times i actually enjoyed linkin park those were dark times

As much as I would like to forget specific periods and momets of my life, I'd rather them remain.

Yeah I'd burn my entire mind down if I had the ability

Yeah I've got some memories I'd love to lose permanently tbqh. I mean there's negatives to losing them but I think they'd do me better if I forgot 'em.

Probably not - I've had a lot of shitty memories that I would like to lose but they've made me a lot more rational and understanding, I've also gained a lot of life experience that I hope will help me in the future.

IF you remove your memory you're just going to continue to make the same mistakes. Every experience good and bad is something you learn from. You learn more from failure then you do success.

Absolutely yes. 5 minutes on the internet would make anyone say yes.

I thought about saying yes about erasing memories I had with my ex girlfriend but the more I thought about it I wouldn't want to erase any memories I had with her

If I could leave a note to myself explaining that I had some memories removed and to [B]not[/B] go looking for them, then yes, in a heartbeat.

If I could change memories when they happened, that'd be one thing. But just deleting them from my mind would not be healthy.

That one fucking WTF! Cockroach gives birth while being eaten alive by fireant video

[QUOTE=Metaru;51991115]Erasing bad memories bounds you to repeat the same mistakes that triggered them in the first place.[/QUOTE] I dunno dude. If I mind wiped me posting sonic shit in the tf2 emporium back when I first joined, I certainly wouldn't post it now.

Just one.

No. I am who I am today due till my memories.

hell ya I would. I had this one csgo comp match I wish I could forever erase from my mind because in THE most embarrassing way possible I let a thrower on my team lose the game for me. And the details of that match haunt me to this day even when I don't play anymore. also all you people in here talking about "I'd keep even my [I]worst[/I] [I][B]worst[/B][/I] memories" man that sounds like stockholm syndrome talk.

Chances are I probably already have.

I'd do it in a heartbeat. I'd leave around some kind of memo with the stuff I erased if it was somehow important to eventually call upon some of those memories later, but that's about it.

I'd erase all of them, but beforehand write some ominous note about a government conspiracy and leave it near me.

[QUOTE=Eonart;51999340]I'll erase every single piece of my memories so I can get government benefits for being retarded.[/QUOTE] But you'd forget to claim them

Probably just spoilers and/or my worst FP posts

Random cringey stuff from childhood that has nothing to do with anything.

There's a couple of bad memories I'd love to get rid of, mostly because they've not shaped me in any way and are just there to fuck me up when I'm trying to sleep.

First thing I would do is forget certain games, movies, youtube video's, books, foods, and songs that I really like and then experience them again for literally the first time, I would be able to entertain myself forever.
