Tyler Cowen, Ramist

I organize my memory spatially.  I remember all of my thousands of CDs, but am clueless about the relatively small number of iTunes I have purchased.  Papers spread out on my office and home floors horizontally, but I know where everything is and what it means.  Each of my messes contains unreconstructible information. 

My wife is a sweetheart, and my greatest terror is an overzealous maid.

If I lived in a small area, my mental life would be much poorer.  That is also why I love driving around and why I do not care to live by the ocean.
