Discussion question of the day: memory

[another_normal_anomaly]

 Would you rather have a perfect semantic memory (the ability to recall any fact you've ever learned) or a perfect episodic memory (the ability to recall what you were doing at any past moment)? I realize your answer is likely to depend on implementation details, so feel free to make up some that make sense to you.

I feel like having perfect episodic memory would inherently mean improving semantic memory, because you'd be able to revisit your lessons at will.

And I'd like to be able to remember where I heard things, because "I know this but can't figure out how to cite it" is a recurring problem in my life.
