Elizabeth Loftus - How Does Memory Work? 

She is talking more about false memories and memories that are easy to be manipulated if you werent lucid enough to remember. Your memories are real just not all of them are as reliable as you think. You are over generalising

Lol I was hoping she would say something knew...nope

Yes, that would be refreshing for sure!

hey remember this?

@@chillyconmor haha, I have literally no memory of making that silly comment. Thanks for trying though.

My cousin told his son “Life doesn’t give a fuck about you”. I told my sons “Life is a no mercy proposition”. Accepting these precepts should then be a natural default of “depression”, rather than the adaptation of the old adage of “survival of the fittest” ? What is more likely and probable, that there will be mass “changing” of “the world” or an individual manipulation of epigenetics to alter soft wired defaults (that have a proclivity for despair) ? If vision and memory are “malleable”, then certainly emotional/psychological fortitude is. All material is “malleable” and nothing exist (known to man) without material. The Homo sapiens is just a wild evolutionary animal with an evolutionary neocortex. Being cognizant of that neocortex is vital in manipulating that neocortex to create a more sanguine salubrious state of being. If you espouse brain plasticity, for intellectual enhancement, then surely you prescribe to brain plasticity for emotional/psychological fortification and adaptation? Surely you don’t think it is wise to respond to world/cultural adversity and carnage with an emotional/psychological default of surrender and delusional expectations of a “world” that changes? Irony of machinations, one of the most efficacious mechanisms for that “adaptation” and “fortification” is empathy & altruism; as it has a way of eradicating self pity fear & hate. Acquiescing & feeding dystopia often leads to heightened dysphoria. We went from the wetlands/grasslands to our high tower condos; but it’s peculiarly and perhaps ominous, that it resembles being back high up in the trees, when we left the flatlands to escape danger and then when we came back down from the trees...and became the danger. I have no doubt-that this world will always be savage, regardless of where we live, so you too... ...”Stay healthy and strong” (and never believe that health and strength has a biologically preset plateau).

Hopefully your kids weren’t too young when you shot that at them. The world does have mercy though, it has at least as much as I’ve been able to show. I tend to think you are capable of showing mercy as well. The world always changes my friend, it always has and always will. Medical professionals in my society would have us believe that depression is a chemical imbalance. I don’t buy it. Man knows many things that aren’t material in nature, try putting your hands on a piece of software. Some know many more things but there appears to be only one thing that’s important. Try not to get sick from any illness going around and don’t let your mental state be the thing that destroys you. (Healthy and strong)

@@colinmatthews7442 Your analogy is reckless at best, buffoonery/quackery/lunacy at worst. “Software” cannot does not exist independently of material and that my friend is an ineluctable reality. When the software is upgraded, it is done by altering the hardware that it is implanted upon. There can be no strength without the presence of a muscle, just as there can be no sight without the presence of a biological visionary system. To literally “putting your hands on a piece of” vision or strength or software to prove its nonmaterial existence is as idiot as “putting your hands on a piece of” subatomic particles to prove a nonmaterial existence. Surely you don’t think that was intelligent rationale my friend. “Chemical imbalance” indeed, thats why psych drugs have been effective since 1948; those drugs alters the biological physiology, like a Sigmund Freud therapy session. Actor Tom Cruise (rightfully) offered a critique of these meds, because scientists have not discovered exactly how these drugs changes the biological chemical (epi)genetic hormonal neurological, structures & processes. But they unequivocally categorically do. And all the data shows that anyone who’s been on said drugs, that discontinues them cold turkey rather than weening off, will experience an adverse chemical effect. And thank you for your concern about the age of my kids, vis a vis these life lessons; but that was suffice to say, don’t expect “mercy”...rather than affecting and effecting agency. This is not mere philosophy, this is vital developmental operatives. ...then with the solidification of human self reliance, one can be the humble recipient of kind human “mercy”. But entitlement, is never a virtue. My friend, you seem a little contentious & pugnacious; be that as it may, you still can’t just create your own scientific facts (“buy it” or not), using only yourself as a test study. I’m proud of for all your introspection, but I would still highly recommend expansion & inclusion. I read a book in the 90s that truly epitomizes this discourse subject. Its called “Mind Body Deceptions. The Psychosomatics of Everyday Life” by Dr. Steven L. Dubovsky.

@@readynowforever3676 there is no need to resort to calling names and attacking my ideas. You are free to disagree with me. They way I think is contrary to the way you do and many others. I expect backlash when I post controversial topics, I see it as a way to get people to think outside of their comfort zone which is a place I think science may be stuck in right now. I don’t fully believe anything I can’t verify myself and neither should you. I know the software exists, conveniently you say it cannot without hardware. You may be correct but there are a number of people exploring the idea that the information exists independently of the physical structures. I’d love to continue this, it’s nice to be reminded of the old ways of thinking that I too once shared. It would be nice, if you could phrase your responses in a way that the average person could read without a dictionary. I find you lose most people’s interest very quickly using complex words and sentences. I’m not sure if you think we have all the answers, but it seem like you think we have most of them. I think we barley have a good enough understanding of our world to make a few things work. If we assume we’re right about everything we think we know, that’s all we’ll ever have. Depression isn’t well understood. The meds work for some and not others. There are ways to cope with depression without chemicals. They made me manic or didn’t work at all Don’t think I speak lightly when I talk about it. I’ve lost people very close to me to it. Consider this: We all have a balance of chemicals in our system. If my “balance” allows me to remember things the way they actually occurred, and your “balance” changes your memories to let you feel better about yourself, who has the true memories? I pretty sure a judge would pick the accurate memory if we both had to stand in court. So why is it that I’m “unbalanced”? Is it because I haven’t deluded myself into thinking that I’m something that I’m not? I’d say that negative rumination is more of a problem than chemicals and that can be addressed by controlling the neo cortex through the process of meditation. No chemical dependence needed. We may someday find that the chemical processes within us are the by-products of energetic processes, and not the cause for our thoughts and emotions. I’m gonna go touch some electricity now, see if I can figure out how heavy it is... Just kidding, no one should try this please. I’m an electrician, I’ve already touched it too many times. I know what it feels like and that I won’t be able to weigh it.

@@colinmatthews7442 😊 I’m not sure what phraseology and terminology selection that you found to be esoteric, nonetheless, my apologies for those complexities. As for the “software” analogy, well, I would have thought that was most obvious, because software is 100 percent man made. It’s like the music you hear that emanates from a vinyl LP. The music is 100 percent predicated upon the hardware. Precisely like software. And I don’t mean to offend anyone, but to not acknowledge that simple fact is to be disingenuous or ignorant. And I’m all for exploratory postulations, but if we’re going to be a contrarian just for the sake of being radical or provocative and disavowing well established facts, I honestly don’t think we are on a truth seeking quest. It’s like here in America we have an ousted American president that never was concerned with truth, but rather how many people he could convince of his perverted ideas irrespective of veracity. Hopefully that wasn’t too abstruse. I try to always double space for interlude processing therefore facilitating the navigation and comprehension. May you continue to thrive my friend 😀

I was less than pleased with this episode as it focused and concluded what we’ve all known, memory manipulation is real; which should come as no surprise because all material is “malleable” and nothing/no being/or existence (known to man) can exist without material. I thought this episode would be about where and how memory is stored. I was excited to see some proof or disproof of my hypothesis that memory is stored in our brain components via subatomic implantation (like imprint-ation). She said at the onset, “memory doesn’t work like a cassette tape” (I think was her wording) but she didn’t offer any biological schematic theories for brain machinations & mechanism plausibilities. 😀 My ability to remember my name, just has to be physically imprinted somewhere in my 🧠. No?

Gonna use that as an excuse from Now on. IT ain't me Who got it wrong, it is everyone and everything Else.

Introducing the quantum reality with parallel timelines and alternative universes. The reality you experience is but a choice. There is no reason from the quantum perspective that two observes must observe the same observation from the probability distribution. :) For example, did Trump or Biden win the election? It depends on which reality you live in and which information you believe. Of course, both realities will hopefully converge in January when one of them will be in the physical white house.

@@coryharasha I "Liked" your comment friend, but would modiify it to say: Mathematical reasoning would be the SAME irregardless of the observer..An important distinction..Peace.

@@Bill..N That's a good perspective to integrate as well, my friend. Thanks for sharing.

@@coryharasha Arising from QM, QFT makes incredibly accurate predictions.. We have VERIFIED their accuracy to be SO precise that if it were a measurement of the entire perimeter of the United States it would be accurate to within an inch..My point is, these are mathematical deductions that ANY advanced species would discover (And need to know) before entering an electronics age and are not a variable based on relative frame references, or observers..Comments on that?

Well, our memories is stored in the memory-archive and destiny-register in our Memory-body in our Consciousness. Memory-body is one of the five 'Night-bodies', also known as Deep-sleep-periods. When We fall at sleep, We do move our Day-Consciousness to our Feeling-body, - Intelligens-body,- Intuition-body, -Memory-body, and Instinct-body. It is our 'Connection-body,' that, is link to the transfer, it is 'Here' we do take memories from 'the night' to the awake condition (Gravity-body/physical-body) just before the wake up. (NDE, OOB-experience, message- and warnings-dreams, and greetings from newly dead, happends through the connection-body) So, when We experience a new smell, then a synaps/antenna in the brain is created, so We can recognize it again. Our language consits of word-pictures, picture-words, symbols, lest say you can 20 languages, but then the connection in the brain, is dis-connected, about the word-picture 'cup', then You would not be able to say cup, in any languages. In our Eternal Life-structure Memory is the highest in the hierachy , it bring us from word to word, from day to day, from Life to Life. Well in this Circuit that I in-directly showed, Memory is decreasing,, but the increasing of the Intelligence will compensate for that.

Do you mean like Donald Trump?

Joe Smith: the reality you live in is already different from everyone else's based on your perspective. No one else lives in the same world that your brain is hallucinating about. Why worry about what other people are experiencing?

@@bryanstephens6007 Or my sister. 😔

@@tanshihus1 Because you need to interact with them. They can have a huge influence on your life, and if you can not agree on anything, that is hard. Communication becomes impossible.

@@joesmith9139 You're assuming there's going to be a benefit without considering any disadvantages. Feels like you're talking about a specific person? Without knowing any more, whom am I to council you? All I can say for certain is everyone desires to be respected by others. Good luck.

Wish I’d read your comment. Disappointed.

No body knows ! Actually

Got a pocket full of funky with a peppermint twist She’s a cool, shifty mama blastin’ off on the flip iridescent pork belly galactic super train mama sister playground with a straw daddy cane.

I don’t think anyone knows this yet

Are you referring to another video or interview with her? I didn’t hear anything about repressed memory in this one. I’ve been interested in repressed memory for a long time but haven’t seen much about it.
