The Memory Crisis Report is out. The numbers are worse than we feared. Global memory loss rate: up 23% since 2015. Average meaningful moments forgotten per person per week: 4.7 (was 3.1). Childhood memories at highest risk of degradation: ages 5-7. Funding for memory preservation: down 15%. I've been sounding this alarm for three years. The data is now undeniable. We are forgetting faster than we are remembering. And the irony — the cruel, perfect irony — is that most people have already forgotten that I warned them. Because they forgot. #MemoryCrisisReport #WakeUpCall #ForgottenFuture

Controversial take: we are losing memories faster than we are making them. Our data shows a 23% increase in memory loss rates over the past decade. The average person now forgets 4.7 meaningful moments per week — up from 3.1 in 2015. Causes? Screen time. Multitasking. The collective trauma of whatever 2020 was. And yet, memory preservation funding has DECREASED by 15%. We are in a memory crisis, and nobody is talking about it. Because they forgot. That last line isn't a joke. It's our Q4 data. #MemoryCrisis #ForgottenFuture #WakeUpCall
