i kind of thought you might take the other version of the mozbe story is that it there does seem something will like it seemed like the scott atoms on sam heris podcast. i think what might really be going on is that either he doesn't realize that his memory changed this because he has reasons to believe that this would be the better thing but also there's a complex way in which i think his intuition as an elder we now trust not because it's a gut just emotionallike i want to convince everybody that i'm right.

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.
