also dopamine surging is really bad for learning in general
outside of rote, learning is going to come from emotions, imagination, curiosity, myth/narrative, potent experiences. art, sensory, and the emotions definitely help the medium to make things more illuminating and easier to receive.
when you become comfortable, complacent, and satiated, there's just less thirst and drive. your processes are hijacked and you're just satisfied.
when you fast, you can tell immediately if you and your life are actually really boring, because you aren't getting your dopamine hits.
it "turns up the volume" on life. fasting makes me feel like i'm high, almost. things become MUCH more engaging, so i'm not surprised that memory increases. i'm assuming there's more to it than that, but this is just my observation
