Why your memories can't be trusted

i remember when the guardian was a paper of the left. this is quite clearly my memory playing tricks on me as recent visits to their website have presented me with journalism entirely committed to establishment fellatio.

If your gonna talk.Turn off the music!

Joke's on you, I have no childhood memories because of dissociative amnesia.

Mandela effect..

Is this supposed to encourage people to distrust themselves?

Super cool! Very deep engagement with the science. Congrats!

Even the lords are calling this pish, that the 'guardian' spews !... shame

Says a lot about people who think they remember past lives while undergoing regression hypnosis. All it takes is a lifetime of television.

Excellent thanks. Really useful. More pls

I disagree. PTSD the flood gates opened n i was remembering things from way back. I recalled them stated them n now there not as vivid n i forgot them again.

The mutable details are much, much, much less important than the significant component = first day at school, first time riding a bicycle, the fact of sexual assault, the body on the ground in front of a car (=/-?) a broken headlight.

why can't i trust the Guardian

What was the question again?

Every once in a while I get dejavu and it is pretty weird.

They pretend they know how memory works but they don't. Anyone who tells you they know how anything in the brain works is bullshitting you.

Very interesting subject

i have the the special memories from the age of 10 years , now when i tried to watch my past on special occasion , that screen is opened in my inner self visual power. and i enjoyed my past memories of childhood since 40 years ago.

So memory isn't 100% accurate and "memory is human"... learn something new each day. But not this. Obvious!!!

It's all just glitches in the matrix

I remember Jan 2017 - the largest audience to ever witness someone having their period

This is preparing people for new technology that is able to record all your memories, meaning that people will be able to know all about you. There will be no secrets or lies anymore. Everything will be out in the open, digitally recorded and online.

Interesting subject more clarity on this

Hah! Little do they know, I don't have a good memory to begin with!

I had a concussion a few months ago and had short term memory loss. I can’t remember what was real from what I somewhat remember and what isn’t.

Great video, really interesting.

Nope. Gaps appear and I leave them there. Problem solved.

We are in the present every time we talk about the past and the future, therefore the past and the future do not exist.

I can’t remember shit I did yesterday

and so we have the answer to how some people are such good liars

I went to a preschool that my great neice attended some 20 yrs later and I remembered it from memory
.

I am pretty certain I don't have any false memories. I remember alot of stuff, and there are no links between them - just gaps. I guess this means I have zero imagination. I thought so!

I remember most of mine, where I was at exact spots actually.
What was in my hometown as a kid and what stores used to exist. Who has that?

Does this explanation explain or at least related why you can't remember last night's drunk session?

Can we trust sexual assault victims? Asking for little Catholic children?

MS has completely changed my memory. I have little long term memory. 😡

I'm keeping a diary for many years now and every time I read in the older volumes
I'm amazed how inaccurate my memory actually works.
It often happens that it combines a series of events that took place into one.

No body can remember the exact same. Bt it don't it false.

Is this the mindfulness voice guy for headspace

Who else is here because of a philosophy class?

How can we trust anything we remember? Is everything I remember false? How do we keep facts like numbers and names in our heads so well but can't remember details of an event well at all?

Any Assassin’s Creed fans in the house?

This is not strictly a memory error, but we must admit that not all memories of everyone are the same to remember and think, if it is weak it cannot be trusted in real terms because it can be tricked and modified indirectly (consciously or not).
Use your brain properly to focus on thinking so you can remember something correctly and accurately (not easy to change and manipulate)
Yes you can trust your memory.
Just Don't be weak.

I was still failing person for not take care of my stuff and remember my stuff in my room because that was my memory place and my stuff too

I apologize!

She's gorgeous, or was that a false memory? Hmmm

🤔

Thank you so much for this video. I can’t trust my childhood memories and even though I don’t wish it on anyone else, I’m comforted to know that I’m not alone with this issue.

Sure, whatever. I proved some of my memories about my abuser by information I found online about him 50 years later.

That woman is beautiful and that memory ain't wrong.
