Description

"It's sort of like someone else is doing an autopsy on your dead body, but you're looking at it through a TV screen and you're completely confused what's going on." - Mohnish Soundararajan Imagine a grand experiment. Two men set foot to reconstruct your past - as accurately as they can. They talked to everyone you've ever cared for, looked at, talked to, yelled at, peed on, and washed a dish for. But the story keeps changing. And in the process, they shatter everything you ever knew about your memory, your self-awareness, and - lucky you - your sense of self. And what if - we actually did this. Featuring special guest Cam Poter, this episode deconstructs not just Cam's narrative identity, but the search for self-awareness, and covers: - The most technically challenging and time-consuming podcast we've ever done - Specific, actionable steps to get a better sense of self-awareness, so you don't take the one, precious life your parents paid so much money for and absolutely screw it up  - The differences in memory between a diverse, dynamic social circle, and yourself - How we piece together our narrative past - and how wrong we get it And more, all on this episode.    The Facts Moonwalk is produced and hosted by Mohnish Soundararajan. It's co-hosted by Kevin Sanji, and edited by Jarrod Sport.  Music is by Podington Bear.  Feedback is by Jarrod Sport, Kevin Sanji, and Justine Brumm. Our main guest is Cameron Poter - listen to his podcast, Sex Talk With My Mom. Special thanks to Scott Breen - if you want to learn about sustainability, check out his podcast Sustainability Defined.
