Episode notes

I think they're clearly the two best performances. I don't even have a huge opinion. Sweringen's acting, Ian McShane's acting is so, it's a beautiful interpretation of the amazing words that he was given. And to be honest, AJ's performance is the worst part of the whole. But yet, you know, everybody has their beautiful moments of eloquence and sort of poinency on that show. It had a similar kind of thing where you just loved a wide range of characters. The wire had this too. A lot of lovable characters.

Memory is highly selective and often inaccurate. But what if we had an easily searchable video record of all our experiences and interactions? How would that affect our relationships? What would it reveal about our characters and our sense of who we are? Is there a kind of truth that can’t be determined by perfect objectivity? David and Tamler dive deep into Ted Chiang’s amazingly rich and poignant short story “The Truth of Fact, the Truth of Feeling” which explores how new technologies shape individual and group identities.
