we dont remember as much because we are expected to keep so much more active memory in use. Aristotle didn't have to remember his PIN or his SS# or his home phone......he had all that grey matter available for philosophy.

IE! my son once recited every penny he got from the tooth fairy, tooth by tooth. is he a genius? or is his mind uncluttered by buulllllshit like mine isn't?
