Are You Who You Are?

from That Brain of Yours: The Glitch and the Function · host LightStar

What if “you” aren’t a single thing—but a process your brain keeps updating?Because that’s exactly what’s happening.In this episode, we explore the strange way your brain constructs your sense of self. You’ll learn how memories, emotions, habits, and predictions come together to create the feeling of a stable identity—and why that identity quietly shifts over time without you noticing.Your personality isn’t fixed.Your preferences aren’t permanent.Even your beliefs are partly stories your brain tells to stay coherent.You feel like the same person every day not because you are unchanged—but because your brain is exceptionally good at maintaining continuity.🧠 You’re not a static self. You’re an ongoing construction.
