“This alien comes from a place where the mind has been completely maxed out and recorded. If memory is how we perceive an event from a certain time, and that same memory changes when viewed from different points in our life—say, what it was like falling off your bike when you were five remembered from later that day, that week, five years later, then fifty years later—this alien that has recorded everything no longer has memory. Everything can be recalled perfectly, so there is no interpretation, and in that way, no growth nor learning. Just stagnation. Stasis”
