What Charan Ranganath actually said

  1. Charan Ranganath Professor of psychology and neuroscience at the University of California
    It’s just this idea that people have about the past can be very useful if it brings you happiness in the present, but if it narrows your worldview in the present, you’re not aware of those biases that you have, it can be toxic either at a personal level or at a collective level.
