How about getting rid of the spontaneous embarrassment highlight reel in the first place? That would be great, thanks.

Reflecting on your mistakes lets you learn from them and not repeat them. Reducing the number of mistakes you make is good for survival. Sorry, this is a feature not a bug.

Yeah that's not the problem we're talking about, it's about still being presented with these 45 years later, with memories from a time when you were a stupid little kid.

Stupid brain.
