If you really wanna get closer to the truth of things, one of the most powerful things you can do is basically be an independent journalist-historian. take notes on the news for about 10-15 years and you’ll start to see see who’s for real and who’s full of shit

if you’ve been posting regularly-ish on facebook, I recommend exporting your data and binging all your old statuses etc, and observing how it deviates from your memory of how things happened

if you then take notes on your observations as you go (of the disparity between your memory and the reality), you will then have an approximate sense of what the fog of time is like. You can’t make it go away but you can sort of account and correct for it somewhat
