Are the facts recorded in a neutral encoding and it is the reassembly
that wraps them in your current mindset?

How much of the phenomenal Now is a merely the story we tell ourselves
about the world "out there"?

Why should our memories be any more or less malleable than so-called real time?

Of course this gets into the ol' identity issue(s) but without the
difference of opinion of those around me claiming that I am not who I
say I am, who am I to believe:  my own consistency of
episodic/experiential memory or the photo id card I'm expected to
carry?
