I think that it is probably more fundamental, the connection between memory and personality than we might like. And I remember when Blade Runner 2049 came out, I saw the movie three times in the theater with that movie pass. We assume we're always going to be the person we are today that we are right now. Even though we weren't that person 10 years ago. It's impossible to look back at 10 years ago and see it without looking through the lens of today.
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.
