Alternative Explanations for 'The Mandela Effect'

[Freodin]

Atheism is a real problem … only atheists do not know this

Again, this has nothing to do with atheism.

But you might be an atheist, trying to make theists look stupid. How's that for a bit of totally not-wild speculation?

Things are not as they seem


Hence weird ideas are not ridiculous


Often not … anyway

Except when you don't like them. Like the idea that people's memories might not be perfect. Right?

But that isn't weird, not at all. It's very rational and based in observations. So are rational and evidenced ideas ridiculous? Are we living in opposite world?

I seem to be an atheist... but it's not ridiculous to assume that I am just an undercover prophet for the one really true deity, who desires the world not to believe in her, except for the people who really believe in her (BBHHH). That's not in the least ridiculous... and thus you would only need a little faith to accept it.

I would say memory is grey

People tend to think in black and white

Memory is "grey". Facts are not. They are "black and white".

Only in theory

See how you evade a simple question when it doesn't suit your narrative. See how you deflect, evade, try to shift?

You did write this post. That is a fact. In practice, not in theory. It's not grey, it's black and white. No subjectivity can change it. No time loop will reverse it.

Yes, you can hit "edit" and turn it into something else. You could even ask a moderator to delete it. But that doesn't change the fact that you wrote that sentence (and, yes, I made a screenshot).

And now you want to deflect to one of the famous false dichotomies again. Crazy or real? Hm... that sounds very much like "black or white", doesn't it.

Perhaps it's "grey". Whatever that means here.

Or perhaps it's something else. Perhaps they are just wrong. As people happen to be... even about things they are totally confident they are being right.

It happens. That's a fact.

Why are you convinced they’re wrong?

Hey, I am not a native english speaker. Are you? Do you know the meaning of the term "perhaps"?

 

[JohnEmmett]

Perhaps I am in a different timeline

 

[Freodin]

Perhaps I am in a different timeline

So, in your different timeline "perhaps" means what "certainly" means in ours? Or perhaps/certainly... your interpretation of my post was just wrong?

(In this case, I am confident your interpretation of my post was just wrong. Why? Experience.)

 

[JohnEmmett]

So, in your different timeline "perhaps" means what "certainly" means in ours?

No, I do not know

Perhaps someone replicated the universe

 

[Freodin]

No, I do not know

You do not know? Then how can you say "No"?

"Why are you convinced of that?"

First rule of holes, my friend, first rule of holes.

(Serious question: are you a native english speaker?)

Serious question: are you a native english speaker?

Sure

Nice anecdote. Do you believe every similar story, or do you have a method to distinguish truth from fiction?

 

[JohnEmmett]

Nice anecdote.

what else can you say about it?

He had something else to say. The part of his post you ignored. You're quite good at that.
