Jessie Munton (Cambridge) is at The Memory Palace today, exploring a forgetting-first approach to asking questions about memory - and the mind more generally. A great exploration of how tasks shape our view of cognition. Take a look!

When we are recollecting a story, what discerns all are other memories from being forgotten or merely being inaccessible at that moment? Today at The Memory Palace, Jessie Munton discusses what constitutes forgetting and its many uses in our lives.

Consider reading my new piece on the history and science of the nasogenital cure! Incidentally, that's not exactly what the theory was and not quite what the episode reveals. Bizarre tales sound rather less bizarre in context - possibly, our own tales in our own context, too.
One woman’s nose and two men’s hubris and a bizarre tale of 19th century science gone wrong. This nasogenital theory tried to link nasal shape to sexual health and reveals how medicine can be shaped more by bias than fact buff.ly/TwZjyJ6

He lied to his base and demonized the Democratic party to get any and all votes necessary to win.
Every accusation is a confession of his own sins. Election fraud is another example.
Lock him up!
I find it highly ironic that the party that bemoaned the deep state and alleged the cover-up of pedophiles is now embroiled in defending the party that has the largest pedophile cover-up in American history.

I can actually, honestly agree with MTG except for:

I am solidly against allowing foreign students into our colleges and universities, like 600,000 Chinese students.

I am against foreign aid, foreign wars, and sending a single dollar to
