I sometimes question if my memories are even real… or if I’m missing any.
Like I feel like there are hidden traumas that got wiped by someone, like… trauma that’s even worse than those that I currently remember, or I wonder if the happy memories are perhaps implanted by someone to try to cover up trauma.
I often wonder if I really am me, what if this is all fabricated, what if my name isn’t actually ■■■ and I wasn’t actually born in ■■■■.
Do y’all even trust your current memories? Do you trust that you are who your memories say you are?
P.S. Oh btw, in the past year, I learned about ECT, electro-convulsive therapy that’s used in some cases of severe depression, and one of the side effects is that it apparantly randonly deletes some of your memories… so its partially already here… terrifying…
yes you can do it and it’s so easy it sometimes happens accidentally https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_memory https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lost_in_the_mall_technique
strictly speaking you don’t need machines for it but if there is any that would be rightwing propaganda enterprise
btw did you know that zucc studied psychology? and that research on this would be maybe not the hottest shit by the time he studied, but at least well disseminated?
