Added: 2026-05-26

[00:00:00]Human memory is not a recording. It's a reconstruction. Every time you remember something, your brain rewrites it slightly, and each rewrite is influenced by your current mood, your beliefs, and what you've learned since the original event. This is called memory reconsolidation, and it means the memory you have of an argument with someone you love is not what actually happened. It's what happened filtered through everything you currently feel about that person.
