Alternative Explanations for 'The Mandela Effect'

[John Caldwell]

You remember every day who you are

Yea....but I forget what day it is.

 

[JohnEmmett]

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

Then it is "for everyone".

I think this is happening to you as well

To everyone, only they are not Aware

 

[Freodin]

I think this is happening to you as well

To everyone, only they are not Aware

Back to you.

False memories. I think this is happening to you as well. To everyone, only you are not Aware!

 

[JohnEmmett]

Back to you.

False memories.

You do not know either way

 

[Freodin]

You do not know either way

Well... I play Memory. Just recently, with my kids, in fact. I didn't get a perfect score. Neither did they.

But I guess you must be a real champion at that game.
You'll always get every pair, never pick a wrong card. And if you ever do, you will blame the changing universe or a time loop for it.

 

[JohnEmmett]

But I guess you must be a real champion at that game.

If you are flawed, then do not try to understand this effect

 

[Freodin]

If you are flawed, then do not try to understand this effect

So... are you perfect at "Memory"? Do your friends refuse to play poker with you? Are you banned from Blackjack tables across the country?

 

[JohnEmmett]

So... are you perfect at "Memory"?

I have a memory

I also have some amount of Faith

 

[Freodin]

I have a memory

I also have some amount of Faith

And you can still be wrong.

 

[JohnEmmett]

And you can still be wrong.

Because skepticism

 

[Freodin]

Because skepticism

Well... if you assert that you can not be wrong... yes, I reserve the right to be skeptical about that, until shown otherwise.

 

[JohnEmmett]

I reserve the right to be skeptical about that, until shown otherwise.

Why are you not investigating this effect?

You can show yourself it is real

 

[Freodin]

Why are you not investigating this effect?

You can show yourself it is real

No. There is nothing to investigate. There is just a bunch of people claiming to remember something.

I have no way of "investigating" if they are correct or not. This "effect" is asserted to leave no testable evidence, no trace in any other medium. It never appears in any connection to a testable or even relatable situation... it is always some weird irrelevant "memory" of the past.

So what is there for me to "show myself it is real"? Tell me! Give me something to investigate.

 

[JohnEmmett]

So what is there for me to "show myself it is real"? Tell me! Give me something to investigate.

Are you saying you were never a child

 

[Freodin]

Are you saying you were never a child

No. I am saying: "Give me something I can test or investigate."

I have been a child. I have memories of my childhood. Not perfect ones. Some that I know are constructed from stories my mother told me later, or from other sources. Some that I know are based on false understanding. Some that I can verify by independent means.

So, what do you have to offer?

 

[JohnEmmett]

I have been a child. I have memories of my childhood. Not perfect ones.

So, what do you have to offer?

I think you remember some of the examples of this effect

You do not have to prove this

 

[Freodin]

I think you remember some of the examples of this effect

You do not have to prove this

What you "think" is irrelevant in this regard. This isn't Sophistery 101.

Let's say that I do "remember" something that has later turned out to be false.

How do I "investigate" whether this thing has changed, or whether my memory was false?

 

[JohnEmmett]

How do I "investigate" whether this thing has changed, or whether my memory was false?

Because others remember it

And there is evidence it once existed

 

[JohnEmmett]

If you have several memories … it becomes obvious

 

[Freodin]

Because others remember it

And there is evidence it once existed

There is evidence? Where?

For example: I "remember" that in your last post, there was a line saying "I already know what you can discover ..."

Now there isn't. Do I remember it wrong... or did it change. Did you change it?

Well... in this case, I have evidence. I made a screenshot.


So, what "evidence" do you "think" exists for my experiences of the Mandela effect... that you don't even know I have, but still assert I do.
