Episode notes

The whole movie is about having a false memory. Blade Runner 2049 is based the like the central motif of it is Nabokov's the the pale fire thing, which is a story about someone who misheard something and then incorporated that as part of their personal narrative. And this is a good place to kind of bring it in for a landing.

Our guest on this episode of the You Are Not So Smart Podcast is Dr. Julia Shaw, the author of The Memory Illusion, Julia is famous among psychologists because she was able to implant false memories into a group of subjects and convince 70 percent of them that they were guilty of a crime they did not commit, and she did so by using the sort of sloppy interrogation techniques that some police departments have been truly been guilty of using in the past.
