---------------
In today's episode, we sit down with Nikolay Kukushkin — Neuroscientist, Author & Teacher — a memory scientist who calls himself a "molecular philosopher" and studies how molecules and cells create memory, motivation and consciousness.
We discuss why your brain rewrites a memory every time you recall it, why talking about a bad memory can make it stronger, how a man who remembered everything couldn't live a normal life, why dopamine is about wanting rather than pleasure, and why evolution built you to never feel satisfied.
It's a conversation that will change how you see your own mind — and the story you tell yourself about your past.
