exponential nature of forgetting

i have been informed by the passerby of a supermemo
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SuperMemo
which lead me (inevitably) to the forgetting curve
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forgetting_curve

the exponential nature of forgetting

if one have used the illustrator or photoshop, one is aware of their path curves, by adjusting the points on the curve, you adjust the curve itself if it is built by the bezier rules, it is organic, like us humans.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bézier_curve

if the forgetting curve could somehow transcend into physical representation, the procedure of the current therapy would change.
the therapist could adjust your forgetting curve or the shape of your memory curve physically so it is aesthetically pleasant to your existence.

from the past.

The coming of the 21st century brought about an unsettling disappointment:
the apocalypse wasn't coming....
The obscure never ending cloud of fear that hung over civilization failed to come to a resolution:
the world wasn't at its end.
The Mayan calendar proved itself to be a giant failure just like the y2k bug, robots searching for non-existing bombs in public transportation, the posters with eyes following people around.... waiting for something to happen.
The endless feeling of doom that followed humans day in and day out into their dreams, seeping into their routine didn't overload the psyche with questions, answers and 
desire to act upon this brain activity.
We were asleep.
Cities  grew and fell. Civilizations came about and dissipated 
leaving behind fragments of their existence which were studied by 
future civilizations...devoured by time, wars and silly humans.
The boredom was enveloping each corner yet failed to follow up in the explosion of a contraction.
It was a beginning of a new inevitable cycle.
The product of such masturbatory existence, this stagnation couldn't be anything but decadence.

and the similarities were

"neurotic attraction to intense beauty, violent horror, and death...."



...We loved with a love that was more than love.
