MrMallard 08/09/23 7:49:39 PM #8:	At best, I think the Mandela Effect is a fancy way of trying to legitimise ignorance, made in good faith but having a negative effect. Like hey, here's a thought experiment, a room full of people didn't know that Nelson Mandela was the president of South Africa - were they simply misinformed/subject to a fit of group hysteria, or did they come from an alternate fucking universe where their version of reality was actually true? Let's give both options equal weight and explore the metaphysics that would render the latter interpretation possible. At worst, I think the Mandela Effect is a deliberate move to destabilise truth and facts in favour of pushing misinformation and "alternative facts". The Berenstain Bears thing was an internet trend and a real social thing where people genuinely thought it was pronounced Berenstein. It happens. People later claiming that the Mandela Effect was actually always called the MANDALA Effect and redefining what it means is a blatant attempt to manipulate the truth. Consider the mental gymnastics you've seen from Trumpers and qanon supporters and TERFs and shit, the way they willingly bend the truth to serve a version of reality that makes them a good guy fighting some latent evil because they "connected the dots" right, even if what they're saying is patently untrue or doesn't make sense. I think that has roots in the Mandela Effect. It's an anti-intellectual viewpoint that legitimises ignorance and encourages conspiratorial thinking, no matter how ridiculous the outcome is - like coming from an alternate universe where a Nobel Prize winner whose struggle helped to end apartheid actually died in prison, and his lasting legacy was mostly posthumous. It's okay to have been misinformed of the truth - it happens every day. But instead of going "well fuck, that's news to me, I suppose I had it all wrong from the start" and researching fucking history, people decided to turn it into a thought exercise where they were from another reality where they were, in fact, right all along. It's a massive crock of shit. <cite>MrMallard posted [p:975358405] in Think Mand...

Atralis 08/09/23 8:02:35 PM #22:	I think it comes from people having a tendency to misremember things in similar ways. Think about Mandela. He peaked in the consciousness of most Americans in the 80's when he was in prison so in the minds of someone that doesn't really follow the world news or politics that's where he remained. The same people that believe that Nelson Mandela died in prison in the 80's also can't tell you when the Berlin wall fell, or what the Berlin wall was, or what the cold war was about. Hell they can't tell you much about anything related to history. But they are sure about this thing. Its nonsense. <cite>Atralis posted [p:975358679] in Think Mand...

ArchNemo 08/09/23 11:25:36 PM #31:	It's weird, but I don't think it's parallel universes. It is kind of funny how many people can misremember the exact same thing though. Berenstain/stein in a lot of ways makes sense because stein is a much more common thing to see as a surname. One of the less obvious ones I've seen people bring up is old Disney movies where Tinkerbell flies around the Disney logo then dots the "i" with her dust, which apparently never existed. --- Down with the Signess. <cite>ArchNemo posted [p:975362150] in Think Mand...

I wonder if in some cases it's also a matter of something being so obvious to us (in hindsight) that we assume it must have happened. I didn't even know about this Tinkerbell dotting the "i" thing, but just reading it made me almost invent a memory of it. Because it would've been a nice touch. Remember Dolly? Jaws' girlfriend in Moonraker? She never had braces. Lots of people remember her as having braces because it would've been a damn good joke.

bfslick50 08/09/23 11:33:49 PM #33:	The Star Wars one is definitely because of Tommy Boy. Chris Farley in a highly watched, highly memorable, highly quoted movie says, "Luke, I am your father." It used to be really inconveinent to look up a movie quote, so you would just assume modern popular culture reference is saying it correctly because you don't actually remember. "Yea that sounds right" and then bam that's the memory. Your memory of the recent pop cultural reference edits the older memory because human memory is actually kind of sucky and nothing like a computer memory. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TsI3lFHkU_s --- "Something's wrong!

It used to be really inconveinent to look up a movie quote, so you would just assume modern popular culture reference is saying it correctly because you don't actually remember. "Yea that sounds right" and then bam that's the memory. Your memory of the recent pop cultural reference edits the older memory because human memory is actually kind of sucky and nothing like a computer memory.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TsI3lFHkU_s </quote> ...

Torgo 08/10/23 12:21:50 AM #39:	Nope. Most Mandela effects can be described by simple psychology and understanding culture. One of the most famous: The end of Empire Strikes Back where Darth Vader says: "I am your father" and not "Luke, I am your father"... Super simple explanation: For many years Star Wars films were not readily available to own or view and TV stations would rarely play big blockbusters like they regularly now, it was an event! - But on top of that the phrase "I am your father" is just too vague on it's own. So adding "Luke, I am your father" made it immediately recognizable as the dynamic from the Empire twist. --- If what you believe is truthful and just, you shouldn't have to posture as someone or something else. <cite>Torgo posted [p:975362814] in Think Mand...

ai123 08/10/23 1:28:35 AM #46:	Please explain how this information from separate, but almost identical, universes can somehow 'bleed' into ours. And how the most plausible explanation for false memory isn't, say, people getting confused (mistaking Mandela for Steve Biko), but some mysterious leak from otherwise inaccessible universes. I'm not necessarily opposed to Many Worlds theories, but this isn't proof of their existence. It's an indication of how unreliable memory can be, and how easily false notions can spread to suggestible humans. --- We ain't free/We're just spilling blood in the streets. <cite>ai123 posted [p:975363434] in Think Mand...
