Faulty Memory Is a Feature, Not a Bug - narrated by Dent May
from Nautilus Narrations · host Nautilus
Dent May know a thing or two about memory. The indie-pop artist’s song “Time Flies When You're Having Fun" starts with the line “Walk through a memory,” going on to say “Traveling in a fantasy, trust the illusion.” It turns out that’s a decent summary of how our memory actually works. As Cody Kommers detailed in the Nautilus story “Faulty Memory Is a Feature, Not a Bug,” the brain doesn’t just store memories, it reconstitutes them and fills in gaps with guesses and imagination to “build a world that we can step into.” That’s why May was the perfect choice to read Kommers’ story. Sit back, relax, and let May take you on a walk through your own memory.
