"Forever" unless the knowledge is out of date, or you don't use it and forget, or until Alzheimer's or some other dementia happens and everything disappears (or until your death, I suppose, but gold also tends to change hands around that time).

You're literally talking to a wall, bud.
That's why you write everything down
Hell, you wrote it down twice! You're ahead of the game, my friend.
The concept of forgetting is laughing its ass off rn.
…but it doesn’t really know why
...especially the knowledge that your gold was taken.
Unpopular opinion (apparently): I value the overpriced, yet imo absolutely priceless, education I received when I was in college/at a university.
It's honestly unbelievable (to me) how much people in the US look down on learning and getting an education
This has nothing to do with education. It’s commentary on the academic job market and how professors expect post docs to work for “exposure.
Ngl, I did not actually expand the picture to see the caption. I just saw the main image about knowledge. Post-docs absolutely get fucked and I do feel bad for them.
I quit one year into my PhD because I was miserable in grad school. I have to assume most post-docs have some crazy resilience or some kind of mental issue/trauma that keeps them going and going. I guess that's probably true for most people but post-docs do some seriously hard mental work and basically get shafted the entire time (at least in the US).
My grandma used to tell me that while trying to teach me reading and so on. I miss you babcia 😭
Nothing a swift club to the back of the head can't change.
The library of Alexandria would have some things to say about this!
