Summary

This quote suggests that a significant portion of people's memories are constructed through their own imagination rather than being exact representations of past events. It implies that the human mind can potentially distort or embellish memories over time, blurring the line between reality and imagination. Therefore, it implies a level of skepticism towards the accuracy of people's recollections and raises questions about the reliability of memory as a source of truth.

The last best hope of earth, two trillion dollars in debt, is spinning out of control, and all we can do is stare at a flickering cathode-ray tube as Ollie answers questions on TV while the press, resolutely irrelevant as ever, asks politicians if they have committed adultery.
