I absolutely love this quote! I have removed a LOT of things from my life in the past couple of years. I don't know if it's made me any wiser...
Anyway. I heard an interview with this engineer (in the video) on NPR recently. I loved his curiosity and willingness to laugh at himself. Plus, it made me want to try to ride a backwards bicycle. ;-)
It makes you realize just how much we're on Autopilot, our thoughts restricted to the well insulated neuronal pathways in our minds... and how difficult it is to break out of them, develop alternate modes of thinking.
I'm not sure "forgeting" helps so much as having "alternatives" in other languages and symbolic systems.
