• Memory quirks that allow us to remember useless details but forget important information
• How the JFK files confirm conspiracy theories without naming specific culprits
• Parallels between historical political events and today's political climate
• The growing polarization in American politics and concerning extremism
• Personal anecdote about a juvenile prank inspired by the movie "Mallrats"
• Thoughts on how selective memory impacts our understanding of current events
