How much of your identity is built from what you remember?
In short: In this philosophical discussion, psychological illusionist Derren Brown joins Nigel Warburton to examine the profound connection between memory, identity, and the techniques used to manipulate perception.
The conversation explores the mechanics of hypnotism and the concept of the 'memory palace'. It delves into the fundamental question of how our personal histories and the way we store information shape who we are.
