But how much do we (already???) know about our
memories
which for sure is a concoction with our personality,
of which we just as well know very little.
Different people have different memories of the same
event (not only the biased eyewitnesses). \
Never ask a psych-professional because he may be just
as biased in "knowing his profession" as you are with
yours. (Stathis, no hard feelings, please, you have
disclosed a lot of thinking beyond your learned
topics)
We have a crude fractional picture of who we are and
what we know (or don't) and "memory" is a big mystery.
Bigger only is "personality".
