This chapter explores cyclical patterns in relationships and discusses the concept of memory erasure in the movie 'Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind'. The hosts reflect on the impact of different attitudes towards challenges in relationships and question whether erasing memories can truly lead to change or simply reset mistakes.
Award-winning screenwriter and medieval philosophy scholar Yoel Inbar joins us for a deep dive on the Charlie Kaufman/Michel GondREY masterpiece Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. When relationships go bad is it better to believe they never happened? What is the nature of memory, how is it constructed, and is it possible to zap them out existence with an Apple IIe? Will Tamler have a more optimistic take on the ending of the movie than David? (Hint: yes)
