Human memory is a very frail thing, and can be influenced by the culture around us. We know how repressed memories that seem very real can be manufactured, but they are far more common than we generally recognize. In real life I have several acquaintances that claim to remember things that I am equally sure did not happen. Generally their false memories about me are quite flattering, but I know them to be untrue. Their high regard for me has caused them to remember our shared past in an insanely positive light - and I also know several women who I know for a fact had a reasonably happy childhood but who have been persuaded by the victimistas that their childhood was horrible, which causes them present day distress.
How many others have been wounded by this poisonous culture of blame?
I'll drink to that. I've recommended it before, but if you want to read a fascinating book on schemas, memories and other slippery aspects of the human brain, pick up Jeremy Campbell's The Improbable Machine ⚠️ ↗. It examines these things in the context of the development of AI, so the issues relating to AI may be somewhat out-of-date, but really the book is more about the human brain than anything else and it's dead on there.
