I love jijingy when the missionary mozbe is telling him like oh the stories are on the paper he says how can paper tell a story yeah. I think there's a lot of subtext that to have most be the missionary you know but memory we just don't have this kind of memory right? Nobody nobody memorizes 500 pages of some and the way he describes storytelling jijingy it's not just with the words but the the feeling that like his tone his body just like the the story just exudes from his whole being rather than just being words on exactly.

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.
