    Mmm, I find it really handy to know that my memories are generated rather than recalled. Sometimes, I remember something that didn’t happen, and I know not to be weird and insistent about it. That hiding things from yourself is a really effective way to manage temptation is also not what I would have expected.

    I’d actually say by social science standards psychology has an above average number of applications.
