eli5: Why do most people have no memories from before age 4 or 5 years old?
In: 4721
After reading some comments and stuff my main surprise from my own imagination is that I’m sure maybe it’s akin to nobody being able to cope with the trauma of birth if we were able to remember something like that. Everything is new to us and our mind is pretty much blown every single day. When was the last time any of us just simply had the thought “wow it’s so beautiful today”? We’ve basically rationalized every aspect of life at this point wether it’s subconsciously or not but I mean those younger years we don’t have knowledge and understanding while we explore everything around us. Idk just my thought
