life should be memoryless

the root cause of most sorrow is not desire as buddhist philosophy suggests. I would argue that memory is the root cause of sorrow. imagine you were memoryless .. you would probably have no concept of sorrow since you do not have a historical model of either sorrow or happiness to relate to. so live your life in a streaming model -- have only a small constant amount of memory and only spend a small amount of your resources thinking about the present cause you dont have too much time to process whats happening .

well 3 things

1. theres no concept of happiness
2. choice is a bad thing
3. my argument is there should be no storage -- if you store something there is no way you can predict if that stored memory will make u "happy" in any way in the future
