Sullied Soapbox:
Fact: False memories can be implanted by inference. True memories can be verified by initiating interactions. Exercising caution remains paramount.
My first memory was that of a tempest. At a year old, I watched as ceiling tiles zoomed by at Houston Airport. My family rushed from point to point as they attempted to board a plane to Logan in the hours before a hurricane struck the Texas mainland. Infantile as my brain was, I took in pale and muted colors as they repeated like VHS tracking lines. Many folks cannot recall life that early on. Most have recollections starting from the age of three. The standard lies in that buffer of a year or so. Memory began as chaos for me. As such, my chaos has only the best intentions. That is what I offer.
