The
comedian
Emo
Philips
once
said
,
I
used
to
think
the
human
brain
was
the
most
wonderful
organ
in
my
body
.
Then
I
realized
who
was
telling
me
this
.
The
unfortunate
fact
is
,
most
of
what
we
come
to
know
and
believe
is
the
product
of
the
innate
inaccuracies
and
biases
present
in
our
brains
.
Many
or
even
most
of
our
values
are
products
of
events
that
are
not
representative
of
the
world
at
large
,
or
are
the
result
of
a
totally
misconceived
past
.
672
The
result
of
all
this
?
Most
of
our
beliefs
are
wrong
.
Or
,
to
be
more
exact
,
all
beliefs
are
wrong
some
are
just
less
wrong
than
others
.
673
The
human
mind
is
a
jumble
of
inaccuracy
.
And
while
this
may
make
you
uncomfortable
,
it
s
an
incredibly
important
concept
to
accept
,
as
we
ll
see
.

Be
Careful
What
You
Believe
675
In
1988
,
while
in
therapy
,
the
journalist
and
feminist
author
Meredith
Maran
came
to
a
startling
realization
:
her
father
had
sexually
abused
her
as
a
child
.
It
was
a
shock
to
her
,
a
repressed
memory
she
had
spent
most
of
her
adult
life
oblivious
to
.
But
at
the
age
of
thirty
-
seven
,
she
confronted
her
father
and
also
told
her
family
what
had
happened
.
676
Meredith
s
news
horrified
her
entire
family
.
Her
father
immediately
denied
having
done
anything
.
Some
family
members
sided
with
Meredith
.
Others
sided
with
her
father
.
The
family
tree
was
split
in
two
.
And
the
pain
that
had
defined
Meredith
s
relationship
with
her
father
since
long
before
her
accusation
now
spread
like
a
mold
across
its
branches
.
It
tore
everyone
apart
.
677
Then
,
in
1996
,
Meredith
came
to
another
startling
realization
:
her
father
actually
hadn
t
sexually
abused
her
.
(
I
know
:
oops
.
)
She
,
with
the
help
of
a
well
-
intentioned
therapist
,
had
actually
invented
the
memory
.
Consumed
by
guilt
,
she
spent
the
rest
of
her
father
s
life
attempting
to
reconcile
with
him
and
other
family
members
through
constant
apologizing
and
explaining
.
But
it
was
too
late
.
Her
father
passed
away
and
her
family
would
never
be
the
same
.

It
turned
out
Meredith
wasn
t
alone
.
679
As
she
describes
in
her
autobiography
,
My
Lie
:
A
True
Story
of
False
Memory
,
throughout
the
1980s
,
many
women
accused
male
family
members
of
sexual
abuse
only
to
turn
around
and
recant
years
later
.
Similarly
,
there
was
a
whole
swath
of
people
who
claimed
during
that
same
decade
that
there
were
satanic
cults
abusing
children
,
yet
despite
police
investigations
in
dozens
of
cities
,
police
never
found
any
evidence
of
the
crazy
practices
described
.
680
Why
were
people
suddenly
inventing
memories
of
horrible
abuse
in
families
and
cults
?
And
why
was
it
all
happening
then
,
in
the
1980s
?
