I'm wondering if that's unfair to Meryl Streep. Is there really no example of her doing that? Yeah, I should say it's not that I don't think that she could kill it. It's that it doesn't seem to be a rule, the kind of roles that she ever takes. She's done so many movies and she's so unbelievably talented. But yeah, the ones I know her from and where she's so brilliant that I've seen are real people.

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.
