ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Why does everyone think they were Cleopatra in a past life — and never a turnip farmer? This week: what reincarnation actually means across Hinduism and Buddhism, the University of Virginia psychiatrist who documented 2,500 kids who remembered dying, the very boring brain-science reasons we "remember" past lives (hello, cryptomnesia), the Korean concept In-Yun from the movie Past Lives, and what your South Node supposedly says about who you used to be. Skeptical, funny, and refusing to flatten anybody's religion. Sources in the show notes.
