Key Notes
He claims that the ordering of emotional categories generates worldview and identity, which then feeds back into perception and recall.
Jiang argues that people primarily remember what carries emotional value, which is why classroom content is forgotten more easily than charged social experience with friends.
Jiang affirms that memory naturally privileges what carries emotional value, while brute memorization is needed to retain disconnected facts.
He says the point of memory is not stockpiling neutral information but developing a worldview.
He further says the cosmos is connected through God as a universal source, which opens the door to a shared field of memory and consciousness.
Jiang offers his son's childhood statement about being an alien from another planet as anecdotal evidence that children may arrive with memories from prior lives.
In Jiang's model, emotions and memories are not stored in the brain but in an infinite universal mind or grid.
