[@hpiccus]

Embrace the ambiguity. I'm thinking about this. Perhaps this means that there are tiny pieces of truth in each person's account, as well as inaccuracies too. So, to embrace the ambiguity means to take all of the accounts and weave a picture or a tapestry. When you consider the tapestry as a whole, the inaccuracies will bleed out because they just don't quite fit the image. But all the different accounts that do fit will form a somewhat cohesive image. Imagine visiting a new city or country for the first time. You get only one account of the experience and of the culture. Visit a second time and you get a totally different experience. Does that mean the first image was wrong? No. This ambiguity means you had only a portion if the image. Both experiences together form a more complete picture of the local, and the pieces that do not fit are probably your own biases and should be discounted.

Nobody: If you can’t trust your memory, you can’t trust yourself to remember this video or its statement that you can’t, which means that nothing ever told you not to trust your memory, which means you can trust yourself to remember this video, which you means you remember that you can’t trust your own memory once again Everyone reading this comment: They lost me at the first remember... 🤯

I see Rashomon effect when I write a quote which is already written by someone else and still it feels like it came from my own memory and is original.

About this topic, I recommend a Maturana essay titled Reality: The Search for Objectivity or the Quest for a Compelling Argument.

Gosh I actually feel this every damn time!

Wow, I've heard that our memories are actually reconstructed occurrences of the events in our head, thus subject to change every time we recall something. The Rashomon effect film sounds awesome, would be interested to watch it

Awesome explanation! The transition of graphs to islands was so smooth and thoughtful. Reminded me of 2001: A Space Odyssey's remarkable bone to spaceship scene.
