Hmm yeah interesting you say that, not to be like toot my own horn or anything but I am DEFINITELY someone who struggles to remember facts and details. I only remember the concept or message whatever that I gathered from the information at the time I learned it. I often feel ignorant and outright stupid if I were to try to discuss many topics with people in person.

The internet is so nice because I can find my sources and double check myself before spouting off lol.

That said I grew up as an older mileneal/gen x? And I do have the benefit of being taught the critical thinking of how to do research which really has do much in common, and then growing up with the internet wild west and all the crazy real and fake shit that happened.. idk it feels almost intuitive in ways, like having a bad feeling about someone.

(Sorry that was a long ramble, I am high and got a little excited to talk to someone about this who sounded like they could be my age)
