Don't let yourself conflate this thing called 'Mandella Effect' with the fact that living in the year 2017 is to live in the greatest 'Misinformation' age in history. When something 'Goes Viral' boy does it get it's hooks into this grand stage of misinformation called 'The Internet.' Back in the day this was called a 'Wives Tale' but now in the year 2017 it is completely on steroids.
I watched the first video...until it was time to investigate. I got to his example of Forrest Gump 'Life is like a box of chocolates.' Sure enough on the misinformation highway called the internet every video that I pulled up not only had Forrest Gump saying 'Life WAS like a box of chocolates' but also had comment after comment of people in awe about the Mandela Effect (coincidence??).
So...doctored videos? No. It's a conflation of scenes, a trick. Life WAS like a box of chocolates at the end of the movie when his mother & Jenny were dead. Earlier in the movie life IS like a box of chocolates...
Also ask yourself this, isn't it awfully convenient that the Mandela Effect never has any power over the things that we remember like the back of our hand, yet ONLY works in regards to things that we 'Vaguely Recall??' The Forrest Gump example threw me for a loop at first. But here's a fun Dirk fact...as a kid I memorized Rocky movies like you could not believe. Hmm, how much do you wanna bet that the Mandela Effect has absolutely no power over Rocky movies for me?? Yet, the Mandela Effect has power over me in regards to a movie where 'I Think' I remember exactly what happened, but I'm not 100% sure. Do you find that to be a fishy coincidence?
This creates a mathematical impossibility for the Mandela Effect as well. I am simply 1 person out of 8 billion. With all of our collective memories from all of those events that we all remember like the back of our hands....
where does the Mandela Effect theory possibly turn? With 8 billion people in the world every 'Fact' that is somebody's immovable memory that they remember like the back of their hand becomes a fact that can't be manipulated by the Mandela Effect. So with all of these facts that are immune to the Mandela Effect, where does it turn?? Cough Cough...well, it can turn to the (fake) internet, misinformation Heaven!!!
Let's analyze another flaw, the Mandela Effect is disproving itself! It sets out to ask the audience a question, for example "In Snow White did they say mirror mirror on the wall...?" The fact that the entire audience agrees causes the Mandela theory to collapse on itself. For the theory to be true you'd have to have the audience answer in mass confusion "Oh wow good question...hmm I'm not sure...me neither...Um, I THINK that's true but I'm not positive...". The fact that the audience is in complete agreement, instead of mass confusion, tells you that we have a parlor trick on our hands.
Think about it, it's a trick, he STARTS OFF with telling you something that you 'Vaguely Recall.' That is initially the heart of the argument, vague familiarity. And it's pretty much the definition of the Mandela Effect, that it's driving you crazy that you 'Could Have Sworn' you believed X but it's really Y. But now here's the bait & switch...all the sudden he has an audience who are 100% undeniably in agreement with something being false!!! They know for a fact that Snow White said mirror mirror on the wall. Timeout, what just happened?? Well, which one is it?? Should the audience be 'Iffy' about something, or are they certain about it? It's a bait & switch, and it's using our new world of mass misinformation to reel you into the bait & switch.
