I think the idea of the 10% of your brain is a twisted understanding of the concept that not all neurons are fiering at the same time.

Borges has some very interesting subrealistic work, I read a peace of his about a culture created around the idea that there is no cause and effect, but that eachmoment is separated, hard to follow, and with a ridiculously large vocabulary (at least on its original spanish) but interesting work.

could this be related to the fact that even though you don't forget the bad things that happen you give them more importance over the good ones, creating a constantly bleaker visualisation of the people around you instead of a full image?

after all, even if you can recall all moments in your life, you probably dont use every moment to dictate your world view, just the ones that are more relevant to you (like that time your friend let you down)

read it in a very old book called "antologia de la literatura fantastica" the book is in tethers now, as it was when I got my hands on it, but he has a lot of work similar to this, I still warn you he is very hard to read.
