What is the Pillar Technique?

It’s giving me some extra ideas!

This is great @Erol, and yet another reason we must stand up to those who frown upon the proliferation of language.

New terminology is always coming, whether we like it or not. And the more people can find their way in to any success with memory techniques, the better we can all handle it. Since no one can predict just what manner (or how many manners) of describing it will take for an individual to experience a breakthrough, being able to point to more descriptions is the better path, even if @Celtic is not entirely wrong that obfuscations can occur.

Ultimately, it’s thanks to more ways of thinking about these techniques, not less, that the great Mnemonics Renaissance flourishes - and radiantly.

You who know also know why “flourish” and “radiance” are such special terms too. :slight_smile:

Hmmm.

Perhaps I should have offered this link instead: https://www.timelesschesterfields.com/history-of-the-chesterfield-sofa-i152

Not so much because the explanation is better, but rather because there are bonus memory palace locations thrown in–along with a pillar.

Thanks, @tarnation. Heaven forbid this Canuck keeps forgetting where he’s from. :wink:

Bring on the Pillars - the more the merrier! :slight_smile:
