Quantum Immortality Test

[JohnEmmett]

You have not presented any evidence. Anecdotes and stories are not evidence.

Why is it not evidence?

 

[Bungle_Bear]

There is endless evidence. But you (and others) are endlessly unable (or unwilling) to appreciate, know this evidence. As it is.

Instead, you are endlessly debating it. Since it seems this is what you do regardless of what I say. Regardless of the evidence I share.

I suspect this is about levels of reality. And our ability (or inability) to be aware of the transcendental.

I claim I have a faulty memory and have not changed timeline. That's indisputable evidence your claim is bogus.

I claim I have a faulty memory and have not changed timeline. That's indisputable evidence your claim is bogus.

Perhaps you have faulty memory…

 

[Bungle_Bear]

Perhaps you have faulty memory…

Indeed. And perhaps the Mandela Effect is faulty memory. The evidence is everywhere.

 

[JohnEmmett]

And perhaps the Mandela Effect is faulty memory.

Perhaps so. Unless there is good reason to think otherwise.

And we have good reasons… to think otherwise.

 

[Bungle_Bear]

Perhaps so. Unless there is good reason to think otherwise.

And we have good reasons… to think otherwise.

Of course we do - we have JohnEmmett handwaving away evidence while pontificating and presenting anecdotes. Who wouldn't be convinced?

 

[JohnEmmett]

Who wouldn't be convinced?

No one is not convinced who has strong memories that are contradicted. Time and again.

 

[Bungle_Bear]

No one is not convinced who has strong memories that are contradicted. Time and again.

I have what I assume you would call "strong" memories which I know are incorrect. So your latest assertion is demonstrably wrong. Do you have anything other than assertions and credulity?

 

[JohnEmmett]

Do you have anything other than assertions and credulity?

It is likely you are affected.

 

[Ponderous Curmudgeon]

Either you are not affected or you do not yet realize you are affected.


It is likely you are affected.

Or, there is no affect to be had.

 

[JohnEmmett]

Or, there is no effect to be had.

I can consider this. The problem is how unlikely such could possibly be. Given the sheer amount. The world map has changed many times.

 

[JohnEmmett]

Is this place in your memory?


Not mine. At least most of my life.

 

[Strathos]

Is this place in your memory?


Not mine. At least most of my life.

I'm willing to bet the people who don't remember that place don't live anywhere near it and never had any real reason to think about it.

Try finding me someone who lives in Egypt who thought it never existed.

Bad bet. I was always aware of Egypt from a young age. I know the Nile was by itself.

People in Egypt will think it was always so. Such is the nature of this, for whatever reason.

 

[Strathos]

Sounds like it would be a good bet, then. People in Egypt don't forget these things because they have more direct experience with them.

It would be a lot more convincing if you had an example of someone who suddenly woke up one day and saw this huge oasis next right next to their house when it had never been there before.

 

[JohnEmmett]

…

Things do appear suddenly. That's the point.

Only it was long ago that way, hence the memories of people are updated. So it seems.

Curious that affect became effect? Can you explain this?

 

[JohnEmmett]

Curious that affect became effect? Can you explain this?

I changed the term.

 

[Ponderous Curmudgeon]

I changed the term.

You know you should not do that in a quote, it is probably a rule violation.

That said, it is a good example of how false memories can get started.

Gives you an idea of how I feel…
