Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

<p>A treat for Freda in this weeks episode on the Charlie Kaufman/Michel Gondry frolic in the mind of Jim Carey: Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Surprisingly, there is a lot of great science in this episode, on what memories mean to us, and how they are formed and persist throughout our lives. Yeah, so it's a serious episode. Not sorry!</p><p>.</p><p><em>If they did it, how would they do it?</em></p><p><em>.</em></p><p>Some extra reading:</p><p><a href="https://kimon.hosting.nyu.edu/sites/science-fiction/2018/10/31/the-costs-of-a-spotless-mind-memory-identity-and-happiness-in-eternal-sunshine-of-the-spotless-mind/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://kimon.hosting.nyu.edu/sites/science-fiction/2018/10/31/the-costs-of-a-spotless-mind-memory-identity-and-happiness-in-eternal-sunshine-of-the-spotless-mind/</a></p><p><a href="https://slate.com/culture/2004/03/the-neuroscience-behind-eternal-sunshine.html" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://slate.com/culture/2004/03/the-neuroscience-behind-eternal-sunshine.html</a></p><br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> See <a style='color:grey;' target='_blank' rel='noopener noreferrer' href='https://acast.com/privacy'>acast.com/privacy</a> for privacy and opt-out information.</p>
