Memory. It's tricky. False memories. Making memories. Planting memories.

Mind control.

Dementia.

Memory is so malleable.

This week, Will, once again, considers the delicacy of the human mind. And Charles Manson. And posting pictures of your perfect life. And the CIA.

And he asks whether there is a way to document our lives that is true. So that we may look back on what we have done and know that it is real.

Or is it okay to create a life that isn't our own?

With so many positive messages out there telling us to Never Give Up, it's difficult to not feel inspired to go for our dreams. But is that wise? Is everything pre-ordained? Can we really affect our own success?

Will is tired after staying up to watch the Oscars. But it got him thinking about worth. About the small guys getting noticed and celebrated. About 'little' films and 'little' books and how we will be remembered when we have gone.

Is it possible to live until we are 150?

Can we be immortalised through our work.

And how can we help our kids understand that it's not going to hurt them to read a book, once in a while?
