 Here’s a concise bullet-point gist of the passage you just shared:


  • Materialism views memories as dormant material traces that exist only when recalled.
  • Idealism sees memories as ongoing experiences: we continuously experience them, though most are obscured.
  • Forgetting/recall = amplification of certain experiences, not creation or destruction of memory.
  • Death under idealism = release of experiences, not annihilation; consciousness and memories persist.
  • Memory engineering claims (e.g., “implanting memories”) are misleading: experiments only create associations, not new episodic memories.
  • Science conflates correlation with explanation: brain patterns accompany experience, but this does not tell us what memory is or where it exists.



If you want, I can also create a single-line punchy version like we did for consciousness.
