Be careful what you wish for. The latest research on memory and learning indicates that forgetting is an important part of our neural architecture, helping us to discern general rules and principles, filtering the important from the mundane, and thus preventing us from overfitting to specific situations. It’s entirely possible that if you removed your ability to forget, you’d only be able to prove X at a particular time of day, holding a particular piece of chalk, while standing in front of a particular blackboard while wearing the sweater you wore when you originally proved X.
