How about Obliterative subsumption? Defined: Meaningful learned material CANNOT be recalled in the PRECISE form in which it was originally learned due to the subsumption (absorption) of the new material under a newer broader context.
Case and point:
When you were a child, you loved animals. All of them. You did not think of them as food. You didn't. Trust me. Someone forced their view of "animals-as-food" upon you before you were old enough to decide for yourself. You were brainwashed to believe you were supposed to drink cow's milk. Today, when I suggest, perhaps, you should rethink drinking the milk from another beast's breast, you MOCK me and carry on about your business only to buy another gallon of milk for your family - probably 2% if I'm correct. Ignoring the blatantly obvious: Cow's milk? Let that sink in.
This "present-day" older you absolutely cannot recall ever loving ALL animals in that way. Yes, you may "own" a dog or a cat or a hamster or whatnot, that you love, but when you were TWO or THREE you loved ALL animals: cows, fish, rabbits, chickens. Your eyes would light with wonder with animals. They were even introduced to you as friends on the cartoons you watched or the alphabet books read to you. Go figure. Animals as friends? Ha! The notion!
Did you know you would TRAUMATIZE a toddler - and maybe even an elementary aged child - if you were to be an HONEST parent? It's funny: Some of you don't promote Santa because you refuse to participate in lying to your children, yet you aren't forthcoming with the truth about meat. Isn't this hypocrital? Why not tell your toddler the truth? Tell him/her that McDonald's chicken nuggets are actually made from slaughtered chickens. Ouch! Too violent, huh? Well, really? Then perchance, we finally agree upon something.
Here's what's funny, but not funny: You no longer think that eating chicken is violent, do you? And to think you once were that THREE year old.
What happened? Obliterative subsumption. That's what happened. Wake up. You weren't born this way!
