Скачать или смотреть THE REWRITTEN SELF - Memory Is Illusion ✍🏻

Memory is not a record—it is an argument the present has with the past. From Plato comparing our recollections to shadows in a cave, to Nietzsche stating “memory is often a liar,” philosophy has long warned that our past is a story, not a fact. Modern neuroscience confirms this: memory reconsolidation proves that each time we recall an event, we neurologically rewrite it, blending truth with present emotion and suggestion. This short deconstructs the memoir of your own mind, examining how your most sacred truths are palimpsests—endlessly edited, fading, and overwritten. What remains of you when the autobiography is proven to be fiction?
