This document appears to be page 18 of a book or essay titled 'Hardwired for Hope?', included in a House Oversight evidence file. The text discusses a psychological study on memory and optimism, referencing the September 11, 2001 attacks as a catalyst for the author's research into how memory reconstruction relates to imagining the future. It notes that memories of 9/11 were often inaccurate 11 months later, and posits that the memory system evolved to help construct future scenarios rather than perfectly record the past.
