WHAT WOULD YOU TRUST? A psychological fiction podcast by Jonah Whitmore exploring memory, identity, consciousness, trust, and choice — and the stories we tell ourselves. Each episode begins with a question: What if you couldn't trust your own memories? Memory can change. Evidence can disappear. Choices can be influenced. And sometimes the truth is the one thing you were never meant to remember. For readers and listeners drawn to psychological science fiction, thrillers, dark philosophical fiction, and thought experiments about what makes us who we are.Jonah Whitmore Science Fiction

    What If You Remember Choosing Something You Never Chose? | WHAT WOULD YOU TRUST? — Episode 29
    22 Oct 2026
    What if you clearly remember making an important choice… but you never actually made it?You remember the conversation. You remember your reasons. You remember the moment you decided to walk away, say no, or leave something behind.But what if the choice you remember was never yours?In Episode 29 of WHAT WOULD YOU TRUST?, we explore the unsettling relationship between memory, personal responsibility, and the choices we believe define us.Imagine discovering evidence that contradicts a decision you have remembered for years. You were certain you made the choice yourself. You may have blamed yourself for it, defended it, or built your identity around it. But the evidence suggests that someone else made the decision — or that events unfolded very differently from the way you remember them.What happens when a memory that shaped your life turns out to be unreliable?IN THIS EPISODE• How a remembered choice can shape your identity, even when the details are wrong• Why a vivid memory is not the same as proof• How we can carry guilt for decisions we may never have made• What happens when evidence challenges the story we tell about ourselves• Why the consequences of a mistaken memory can still be real• Whether understanding the past can help us make different choices in the presentYou don't need to doubt every memory. And discovering that a memory may be inaccurate doesn't erase everything you experienced afterward.Perhaps the important question isn't only whether you made the choice you remember.Perhaps it's also whether you are still allowing that memory to make choices for you.QUESTION FOR YOUIf you discovered that a major choice you remember making was actually made by someone else, would it change how you see yourself?ABOUT THIS EPISODEWhat If You Remember Choosing Something You Never Chose?Season 1 · Episode 29 · ChoiceWHAT WOULD YOU TRUST? is a psychological podcast by Jonah Whitmore exploring memory, identity, consciousness, trust, and choice.━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━EXPLORE YOUR OWN MEMORIESTHE MEMORY INVESTIGATIONThe Practical Workbook for Exploring Your MemoriesThe goal isn't to assume that your memories are false.

  • How Much of Your Choice Is Actually Yours? | WHAT WOULD YOU TRUST? — Episode 28

    How Much of Your Choice Is Actually Yours? | WHAT WOULD YOU TRUST? — Episode 28
    18 Oct 2026
    Think about the last important decision you made.You probably had your reasons. You considered the possibilities, weighed the risks, and eventually chose what seemed right.But how much of that decision was really yours?In Episode 28 of WHAT WOULD YOU TRUST?, we explore the hidden influences behind our choices — the memories, fears, habits, and expectations that shape what we want and what we believe is possible.Two people can face exactly the same opportunity and see completely different futures. One sees freedom. The other sees danger. Both believe they are responding to reality, but their past experiences may be shaping what they see.Sometimes, a familiar reaction becomes a habit. A habit becomes part of our personality. And eventually, we stop questioning it. We simply say, "That's who I am."But what if some of the choices we consider uniquely our own are actually patterns we learned long ago?IN THIS EPISODE• How past experiences influence present decisions• Why the same opportunity can feel exciting to one person and dangerous to another• How inherited expectations shape our desires• When habits become so familiar that we mistake them for personality• Why understanding a decision can change how we see ourselves• Whether recognizing our influences can help us choose differentlyYou don't need to question every decision you make. And being influenced by your past doesn't mean your choices are meaningless.Perhaps freedom isn't about making decisions untouched by experience.Perhaps it begins when we recognize the influence of the past — and decide what role it should play in our future.QUESTION FOR YOUWhen you make a choice, are you expressing who you are — or repeating who you learned to be?ABOUT THIS EPISODEHow Much of Your Choice Is Actually Yours?Season 1 · Episode 28 · ChoiceWHAT WOULD YOU TRUST? is a psychological podcast by Jonah Whitmore exploring memory, identity, consciousness, trust, and choice.━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━EXPLORE YOUR OWN MEMORIESTHE MEMORY INVESTIGATIONThe Practical Workbook for Exploring Your MemoriesThe goal isn't to assume that your memories are false.

  • Did Your Memories Make the Choice for You? | WHAT WOULD YOU TRUST? — Episode 27

    Did Your Memories Make the Choice for You? | WHAT WOULD YOU TRUST? — Episode 27
    17 Oct 2026

    Think about a decision you made recently.

    You chose to trust someone. You turned down an opportunity. You stayed with what felt familiar instead of trying something new.

    You probably had your reasons.

    But how much of that decision belonged to the present — and how much came from your past?

    In Episode 27 of WHAT WOULD YOU TRUST?, we explore the hidden relationship between memory and choice.

    Our memories help us learn from mistakes, recognize danger, and understand the people around us. But they can also shape what feels safe, what seems possible, and what we are willing to risk.

    A past betrayal can influence how we see someone new. A previous failure can make an opportunity feel impossible before we even try. Sometimes, a decision feels so natural that we never question where it came from.

    We call it instinct. We call it experience. We tell ourselves we know what's right.

    But what if a memory is influencing our choice in ways we don't fully recognize?

    IN THIS EPISODE
    • How past experiences influence present decisions
    • Why familiar situations can feel safer than unfamiliar possibilities
    • When memory helps us — and when it limits us
    • How to distinguish present evidence from expectations shaped by the past
    • Whether recognizing our influences can help us choose differently

    You don't need to doubt every decision you make. Your memories contain valuable lessons, and experience matters.

    But a situation that resembles an old mistake doesn't always have the same ending.

    Perhaps freedom doesn't mean escaping the influence of the past. Perhaps it begins when we recognize that influence and decide what to do with it.

    Your past is part of your story. But it doesn't have to write every next chapter.

    QUESTION FOR YOU
    Are you choosing what you genuinely want — or protecting yourself from something that happened before?
