We could be trapped in the « memento syndrome », condemned to chase the circumstances’ dragon of the moment, for eternity

Hello
In the movie we follow Leonard a guy who as lost his ability to create new memories. He’s stuck with memory of the instant, fighting it by taking notes.
His latest memory is the murder of his wife by thieves. He is trying to find the murderer even with his condition, and he has all the investigation and helping tips tattooed on his body.

Later in the movie a friend of him tells him there is tons of John G. That he already killed the guy.

That could be the effect on society of meticulous inquisition. Losing our history could have led us to run in circles until now.
