Time: Unveiling the Ultimate Secret of Memory Mastery
In our captivating discussion, Ronald and I dive deep into the realm of memory, unraveling the mysteries and exploring cutting-edge techniques that will revolutionize the way you remember information.
We start by addressing the crucial topic of time and its impact on memory.
Time, in its essence, is a double-edged sword.
While technology enables us to access vast amounts of information instantly, it also poses the risk of outsourcing our memory to devices. This can lead to digital amnesia.
To help you avoid that problem, or even worse issues (like Alzheimer’s), Ronald emphasize the importance of reclaiming the power of our own minds and uncovering the joy of natural memory.
Focusing too much on time can also make you miss the beauty of reflective thinking.
Although I’m not sure I agree with Ronald on one point he makes, he does provide a compelling way to think about rote learning I haven’t considered before. Given his take on the relationship between memory and time, he might just be on to something.

As you probably already know, Memory Palaces have been utilized for centuries as one of the most potent mnemonic techniques. It allows you to store and retrieve vast amounts of information through the creation of vivid mental landscapes.
Ronald shares his expertise, guiding us through the intricate process of using mnemonic devices effectively. Prepare to be astounded as we unlock the secrets of this ancient art and discover firsthand how Memory Palaces can transform your learning experience.

The Craft of Memory on Substack
I really enjoyed this episode and it’s had me thinking of using both new and old technology in my memory training. I’m currently working on designing and hopefully 3d printing a physical version of Burno’s memory wheels to aid with my own memory practice.
Thanks for stopping by for this episode and wonderful idea with 3D printing a Memory Wheel. I’d love to see a pic when that appears.
I know my friend Jonathan Levi does a bunch of 3D printing stuff now. His channel on YouTube is called The Next Layer if you haven’t seen it.
Another thing to look into are the paper memory wheels people used to make. If you look up the term volvelles, you should find some examples that could help with this project.
Thanks again and talk soon!
