How to Improve Your Memory
Everything important is in bold, large, and/or italic. We call it INTELLIGENCE because war is stupid and people are stupid.
We all struggle to remember information sometimes. Whether it's memorizing dates for history class, formulas for math, or vocabulary words for language studies, retaining information can be a challenge. However, by understanding how our brains process and store information, we can improve our memory.
First, let's talk about how our brains remember information. Research has shown that our brains have an emotional bias when it comes to storing memories. When we experience a strong emotion, such as fear or excitement, our brains label that event as important and store it in long-term memory. This means that if we can associate emotions with the information we want to remember, we're more likely to recall it later on!
Another important factor in memory retention is repetition. When we first learn new information, it may not seem relevant or connected to anything else we know. But as we repeat the information and connect it to existing knowledge, our brains start to form new neural pathways and strengthen existing ones. This process helps us to better understand and remember the information. Repetition and relating new information to known information are two of the keys remembering: rapid accurate recall results from re-experiencing the sense impressions that formed memory.
Now that we understand the basics of how our brains remember information, let's dive into the method. This method consists of three main components: simplicity, personal connection, and benefiting from human specific memory biases. We'll explore each of these components in detail below.
Simplicity: The first rule of the modified Zettelkasten method is simplicity. When taking notes, use simple language and avoid jargon or technical terms unless they're necessary for understanding the concept. By using simple language, we make it easier for our brains to process and store the information.
Personal Connection: The second rule is to make some personal connection to the information. After writing down the information, take a moment to reflect on why it's important to you. How does it relate to your life or interests? What personal experiences can you associate with the information? By making a personal connection, we create an emotional attachment to the information, which makes it easier to remember.
Benefiting from Human Specific Memory Biases: The third rule takes advantage of our brains' natural tendency to remember things better when they're associated with strong emotions or vivid imagery. To utilize this bias, we'll use visualization techniques to help solidify the information in our memories.
Now that we've covered the theory behind the modified Zettelkasten method, let's move on to the step-by-step guide. Here's how to implement the method:
Step 1: Get an Index Card
Start by get an index card or a piece of paper that you can dedicate to the information you want to remember.
Step 2: Title it with What You Want to Remember
Write down the topic or question you want to remember at the top of the card. Keep it short and simple.
Step 3: Fill the Card with Information About the Subject - Make it Sound Personal and Very Informal. Put it in your own words!
Next, fill the card with information related to the topic. Use simple language and try to make it sound personal and informal. Avoid using bullet points or lists, instead, write in paragraphs or sentences. Explain completely!
Step 4: Write Your Own Personal Connection to the Information
Take a moment to reflect on why this information is important to you. Write down your thoughts and feelings about the topic. What personal experiences can you associate with the information?
Step 5: Draw a Picture
Finally, draw a picture that represents the information you've written down. This could be a diagram, a sketch, or even a doodle. The goal is to create a visual representation of the information that your brain can easily recall.
Step 6: Flip over the card and write a question or questions about the card.
Once you've completed these steps, flip over the card and test yourself on the information. Quiz yourself on the key points and see how much you can remember. Review the card regularly to reinforce the information and strengthen your memory.
By following these steps, you'll be able to improve your memory. Remember, the key to successful memory retention is to make information personal, simple, and visually appealing. With practice and consistency, you'll find that you're able to remember more andmore information with ease. Good luck!

The following is Falun Gong propaganda. Thing is... Falun Gong, crazy religious dualists, is so thoroughly penetrated by the Chinese Ministry for State Security that you have to occasionally trawl through their crap in search of gold nuggets of actual truth. To Me, this means that the CCP has decided Russia is so finished off that they can start to transition from "let's destroy Russia's military" to "and saw off at least those chunks of 'Russia' that used to be China before Russia stole them during the century of humiliation.

Parties to war don't in fact negotiate, they can't. Do you negotiate when someone is stabbing you? How about when you are getting raped? Domestic politics constrain leaders to war on to the bitter end, and outside parties have little real motivation or concrete plan to impose on two parties literally killing each other.
It will be the hardest thing you ever do and may well leave you traumatized for the rest of your life but it will also be the thing you are proudest of.
