I just memorized by seed, why don't I see more people doing this?

Hi everyone,

I have memorized my seed phrase. This struck me as a crucial security measure, especially in a space where personal responsibility for security is paramount.

However, I've noticed that this doesn't seem to be a common practice among my peers and in the broader Ethereum community. This got me wondering: why is memorizing your seed phrase not as widespread as I expected?

Is it due to the fear of forgetting it, or do most people rely on other forms of secure backups? Perhaps it's the complexity of the phrases or a general lack of awareness about how effective this method can be?

I'm curious to hear your thoughts and experiences. Do you memorize your seed phrase? If not, what are your preferred methods for secure storage? Let's discuss the pros and cons of this approach and share best practices for ensuring the safety of our digital assets.

Looking forward to your insights!

Edit: the amount of hate, ignorance, lack of logic I see in the replies makes me think Ether is at its top. It's a top signal if this is the community behind it.

1) Memorizing it does not imply that someone has to burn the paper backup. It just means the paper backup can be stored more safely, like divided in two/three places.

2) So many free hate replies: people are you ok? Are you still human? You look like angry apes.

3) It's absolutely not that hard to memorize 12 words, or 16, just google some techniques, make up a story, or watever. No big brain needed.

4) This is my fist and last post here. Toxic community. So sad.
