Memory Masters destroying the last of their childhood memories so they can add another 80,000 digits of pi to their mind palace.

Memory Mastery is a technique where you force your brain to remember random information by formatting it in a certain way, some people have gone on to use this trick to memorize millions of digits of pi. A study recently came out confirming that every time you make a new memory it destroys an old one, so every time someone makes a “memory palace” it comes at the cost of older memories, such as in childhood.

You wouldn’t happen to have that study close at hand?
I often nerd into new hobbies and learn new stuff. I also don’t feel like I remember as much of my early childhood as people around me does.
I have no idéa if this is what’s happening to me, but it’d be interesting to read about.
Sorry couldn’t find it and google is being as fucking useless as always 😔
