If the point of memory were to archive history, these would all be defects. And no doubt sometimes they are. But suppose that the main point of memory is to make a positive contribution to one’s ability to face the present and future. “Memory is for doing,” we might say. And what we need from memory if we are to improve the odds of contending with the present and future is not a warehouse of disconnected documents, but an ability to extract and recombine bits of information in light of subsequent evidence and along lines of relevance to current or anticipated situations, however novel they might be (Genovesio, Wise, & Passingham, 2014; Schacter, Addis, & Buckner, 2007). This process should draw on the full information available to the individual, synthesizing imaginative representations of what is likely or possible by bringing together the old with the new. And this in turn dictates a continual process of enrichment and reorganization in memory, pulling information out of one context to use it in another, correcting past thoughts or perceptions, developing projectable forward trajectories by giving plausible narrative coherence to sequences of events in ways we did not appreciate at the time, and selectively storing and recalling information of greater pertinence upon what we care about or are called upon to do.

Once you’ve named your stressors, I’d like you to pick the one that causes you the most strife on a day-to-day basis. Don’t think too hard about it—the first thing that comes to your mind is usually the one creating the most stress in your body and mind and weighing most heavily on your heart.

Most technology businesses do not fit Buffett’s pattern of evolutionary change, differentiated products, loyal habitual customers, and few competitors. The few that have the last three—including Alphabet, Apple, Amazon, Facebook, and Netflix—are spectacular winners. If change is constant, reinvention must also be.
