There are cases like h m, of severe anterrograte amnesia. They can't remember that they just met somebody a minute ago. That's usually combine with some sort of rhetrograde enmusue. And so you have people who are living moment to moment with no memory of why they are where they are. It raises the question: How much of your personality depends on your memories?
We welcome Paul Bloom to talk about the first season of "Severance," the new mind-bending and mind-splitting TV series on Apple TV+. What happens when you separate your home life from your work life? Do you create a completely different person? Is it a form of self-slavery? How important is autobiographical memory to your identity? And what’s the deal with the break room… and the goats?
Plus, what happens when you combine the obsessions of evolutionary psychology with the methodological problems of social psychology? You (finally) get an explanation for the female orgasm.
