Can You Trust Your Memories?

This is a gem. I love the deep questions — free will, consciousness, meaning, etc

Two remarkably brillliant and sensitive humans. What a wonderful conversation. It was such a pleasure to get to listen in. Thank you!

50:13 It's very well documented that the more times you recall a memory, The more edited or altered it becomes.

This is the perfect example of a video for which choosing a deserving title is impossible. What an incredibly enriching conversation, I could have listened for another couple of hours!

Such a great discussion, it really provokes considerable thought. Once again, so much gratitude to Dr. Greene and Bloom with the WSF team for all the fantastic content! Edit: "Why stop?" Purpose. Sometimes we struggle to understand the purpose of another.

Always excellent, brilliant conversations by Brian and his many guests. I'm 75, and one simple thing I regret was not keeping a diary. Of course, it's a very rudimentary aid to memory, depending on how detailed you made it, but it would help me with some basic chronological events in my life and some contradictory childhood memories of events that I humorously argue about with my surviving siblings. "When I was young, I could remember everything, whether it happened or not." Mark Twain 😂

Former MSNBC Anchor Brian Williams is a great example of memory's fallibility. He told a story "from memory" on a talk show and it turned out to be an implanted memory. It wasn't his. The furore from it led him to be demoted from prime time to a late night slot.

This topic - yes not ghostly but sending shivers down my spine, I can't put my finger on it, why.

I said this before. People couldn’t have started off evil even in the beginning of humanity because we wouldn’t have never made it far. Love is probably what got us this far.

Breaking out Shakespeare like that at 1:32 is the most impressive thing I've seen all day.
