The modern mind is not merely forgetting more; it is being trained to look away before memory has time to take root. We live in the information era. We are always switching to the next stream of data before our brains can process the data from before. One perpetual motion of ADD.  The genocide in Israel is already old news. It's a **** genocide. How can a genocide ever be old news? However, how many people recall the details of it? 

There is evidence that modern information overload affects attention and working memory, and there is some evidence that repeated digital habits change brain activity patterns. But the deeper issue is not simply “too much information.” It is fragmented attention, constant switching, and overreliance on external retrieval.
