Re: Suggestion
Any thoughts on Loftus' observations of the ease of implanting false memories?
Note that she's showing that memories are easily altered under specific conditions,
E.g.
- A police officer repeats a question, "Are you sure you didn't see a red Camero?".
- A sophisticated computer program analyses a man's stated memories from childhood, and exposes some of them as false.
- A university lecturer in property law exclaims to the class, "Did you see the curly-haired man!" when a man unexpectedly dashes into the theatre and steals something.

Re: Suggestion
I was coming up with similar theories back when I was using drugs. That led me to experiment with my mind. Pandora's box...
Interesting... as well as scary!
