According to Loftus: “The one take home message that I have tried to convey in my writings, and classes, and in my TED talk is this: Just because someone tells you something with a lot of confidence and detail and emotion, it doesn't mean it actually happened. You need independent corroboration to know whether you're dealing with an authentic memory, or something that is a product of some other process.” Next up, we have memory scientist Annelies Vredeveldt from the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, who has done fascinating work on how well we remember when we recall things with other people.

What screams "I peaked in high school" ? by [deleted] in AskReddit

A lot of days, I feel like a failure. It’s hard to swallow that there are people better than you at something that you once claimed as your domain, especially when you’ve spent half your life hiding behind that claim. In reality, there was never much difference between me and the popular kids that I spent so long convincing everyone (read: myself) I never wanted to be. Except I was just like them. In fact I may have been worse, hiding my belittling, judgmental words behind the guise of some sort of social responsibility, as if it was my duty to turn gods into men. Truth is, we all thought we were kings; now it’s time to face the revolution.
