Memory is more like a god that determines our fate than we realize. Whether remembered or repressed, memory informs our choices, which create our future.

In this episode:

⋗ Human vulnerability and the desire to exploit vulnerabilities
⋗ The way memory makes us who we are and who we will be
⋗ Whether ignorance of history is like living with no memories
