Inspired by the latest Spider-Man movie No Way Home, this week we discuss how you could make the world forget that you exist. This is no easy task, but believe it or not, it can be done. We are going to go over how you can disappear from public view, much like spies or people in Witness Protection, but also how you could alter memories on a mass scale and delete yourself from history. It is possible people figured this out ahead of us, which may explain The Mandela Effect, which is where people believe something exists that never existed at all. That is a tough one to get your head around, but we break it down for you this week. Plus we also channel our inner Bob Ross and revisit the thought experiment about a tree falling in the woods and how it relates to the existence of humans.
