Who would win? The thesis this man™ came up with or my inability to visualize things in my mind beyond light, strained fuzz.

funny informative reflective medium-paced

3.0

Lots of really interesting history of memory and the techniques and science of it.  But the core group of "mental athletes" followed in the modern day is an incredibly sexist, lewd boys club that can be difficult to stomach.   Definitely unlikable characters.
