Why Was I Not Taught Memory Enhancing Techniques In School?

Memory Palace Or Method Of Loci

In the second article we learn that one of the oldest techniques of memorization (a system of mnemonics) is referred to as memory palace or method of loci dating back to the  the Greek poet Simonides of Ceos (556 – 468 BC).

Chinese And Indians

I have noticed that Indians as well as Chinese people seem to have quite a capability to deal with or memorize intricate details with ease.

In the case of Chinese, I wonder whether this characteristic is somewhat related to their complicated written language of glyphs. Like one word in Chinese can be represented by dozens of glyphs.

On Government Run Public Education

Throughout my life I have noticed on my own various tricks and techniques how to increase your memorization capabilities by reading or hearing about it. However, it escaped me that it can be trained quite well and successfully, even fairly fast within weeks as the above article suggests.

We need to privatize public schooling of our children! Urgently! More school choice please!

Of course in government run public education the ruling elites do not want future adults to remember to well how awful our politicians are and what many foolish mistakes they make. Creeping and expanding socialism in Western democracies would not be possible and much more!
