The Mandela Effect. Is It Real? 🤔

in life •  8 years ago 

Think about your favorite movie of all time. You know, the one you loved to watch as a kid. The one you know every line and scene of. Now imagine that one day you decide to watch this very movie, only to find out that you've remembered your favorite lines incorrectly. "But how?" you might ask yourself. "I know for a fact that I memorized the correct lines. This is bullsh..." Well guys and gals, we have ourselves a good ole tear in time and space. Yep, absolutely no explanation other than time manipulation.


Seriously guys, Nelson Mandela died in prison! oh wait...that didn't happen?

If you didn't catch it, I was being sarcastic. A lot of people, especially on Youtube, are releasing videos that claim to prove time manipulation has taken place. The main support, which is what the phenomenon is named after, is the confusion regarding the death of Nelson Mandela. I'll be the first to say that some of these videos argue a convincing argument, but there are more realistic explanations for this scenario.

False Memory

The more scientific term for false memory or mis-remembering events, is know as confabulation. The people who thought that Nelson Mandela died in prison could simply be experiencing a false memory of what actually took place, which is that Nelson Mandela died of bronchitis at his home.

Mass Hysteria

Okay, so this one has a very strange and sometimes funny history. I'll share with you a particularly odd example of mass hysteria that I found online.

During the Middle Ages, a baffling case of mass hysteria gripped an undisclosed convent in France. The incident started with one nun meowing like a cat, with the rest of the convent soon following. The group would meow together for many hours at specific points during the day. The incessant caterwauling baffled and infuriated residents of the surrounding neighborhood. The nuns finally ceased their meowing after soldiers, who were sent to the convent, threatened to whip them with rods.

I think I've made my point; the belief in the alternate version of Nelson Mandela's death, is very likely a symptom of mass hysteria. It's definitely not as funny as nuns who think they are cats though. lol


What do you think?

The Mandela effect is another in the program that Cass Sunstein made more public when he talked about 'cognitive infiltration'. I have been fascinated with, what are now called, 'conspiracy theories' since the 80's, and I have seen a proliferation of fake ones in the last ten years, ones that claim to go back decades, but when researched, only go back to about 2010. Now we are steeped in complete madness, with flat Earth resurgence, alien satellites, simulation hypothesis, madness.

With billions of dollars per year spent on lying to the American People, it gets worse all the time.

You're speaking nothing but truths man! :)
