Alternative Explanations for 'The Mandela Effect'

[JohnEmmett]

It's time you understood …

I am wiser than this man, for neither of us appears to know anything great and good; but he fancies he knows something, although he knows nothing; whereas I, as I do not know anything, so I do not fancy I do.

― Socrates

If that were true, you wouldn't keep telling me I don't understand. Rather, you'd be off investigating.

 

[JohnEmmett]

If you do not know, then do not know


In other words, stop knowing it is false memory


You do not know that

You didn't answer my questions.

I don't have to answer any of your questions.

 

[Bungle_Bear]

I don't have to answer any of your questions.

I didn't say you did. I pointed out that you didn't answer them but seemed to expect me to answer yours. If you want to discuss something, it's 2-way traffic.

You should not use science to deny all weird ideas

Here are a few alternatives to The Mandels Effect being true. WIld ones, but not quite as wild.

1) Space aliens are using us as lab rats.
a) Some of their experiments deal with implanting false memories.
b) Their technology is far from perfect and there are occasional glitches that result in false memories
c) Many of the lab techs are their version of college students and we all know how some kids that age like pulling pranks.

Note: This fits into teh claims of being abducted and probed in very personal ways as a false memorie. After all what could be more personal than having someone walk through your mind? Perhaps that gets 'remembered' as a physican violation.

2) The Matrix is realand we are in it.

3) 1984 is a mild version of how our leaders are controling us. They are not just playing with news reports, but actually implant the memories they want us to have.

4) None of us are real, our whole world is just a Butterfly's dream

5) The Twilight Zone episode where they are testing the responce of a pilot for the first Mars flight was all to close to the truth. Only one of us is real and they are in an isolation chamber and half way to going mad.

5A) Same thing with a bad acid trip.

How about the simplest … that everyone has accurate memories

Dementia shows that everyone DOESN'T have accurate memories, so that idea is shot right down.

You do not have dementia

You can remember examples of the effect

Never said I did, I live with someone that does so I see First hand what it does.
But nice to know that you're a Doctor and can make medical diagnoses over the internet.

What does that have to do with the post you replied to?

Nothing, of course.

I guess he remembers different posts that he replies to.

How is that the "simplest" explanation?

It would mean that while your memories (all of them, for all people... except the exception, that somehow don't count, because reasons) are perfect.... NOTHING ELSE IS CONSISTENT!

You are just a fraction of an inch away from total solipsism.

Lol. He pretty much gives the right explanation while still insisting "Mandela Effect". We have 2 choices - a new version of Mandela Effect where both realities exist in the same reality (huh?), or we have multiple people who use the more common (but in this case incorrect) spelling of Penny because they don't know better.

 

[JohnEmmett]

Perhaps this is … not for everyone…

 

[Freodin]

Perhaps this is … not for everyone…

Are we living in the same world? The same reality?

Then it is "for everyone".

But perhaps you are living in a different reality, where people make completely different posts that you respond to, and we only see some sort of astral projection of a JohnEmmett that doesn't really exist.

Or perhaps you are just a badly programmed bot stuck on a loop. Who knows?
