ADHD?
I think in elementary school they refer to that as “bright.”
“Oh little Billy is one of the brightest students.”
Fast forward, little Billy graduated college, moved to Philly, works as a barista, knows the complete lore of 40k but doesn’t use their degree in any meaningful way.
Being smart is largely about being able to process information, not retain it. Retaining it is being educated.
Also a bit of knowing about a lot of topics but not well enough to explain any of them
The closest concept is severly deficient autobiographical memory (SDAM), a lifelong inability to vividly recollect or re-experience personal past events from a first-person perspective.
…this is another aphantasia thing, people can recall memories in first person!?
