No I don't, and like with any other example (Interview with the (a) Vampire, Sex and (in) the City) I would fully expect it to not be what I remembered. I don't believe the past or reality is altering around us, I believe there exists Berenstein Bears, Berenstain Bears, Berenstain Badgers, ... and the list goes on forever.
Steemit was actually the first place I heard of the Mandela effect so it's been less than a year that I've been aware of it. But when I first read on the subject it just fit with the overall conception I've had of "reality" for the last 15 or so years ever since I first discovered the Many Worlds Theory and that clicked with me.
I feel that the Mandela Effect has always happened. I think of it as an artifact of our consciousness navigating a path through infinite realities and probabilities. Before this modern time where we have a convergence of standardized images and logos, internationally famous people, names and media properties, and the internet as a means of communicating and finding others with like experiences... any "Mandela effects" would have been largely imperceptible to earlier societies.
I know it's bizarre, I certainly don't get into any fist fights with "Mandela Effect deniers!" Some examples I myself chalk up as more likely to be due to confabulation. I see C3POs silver leg (which I don't remember) but when I watch the movies it is actually very subtle and hard to detect, and most of the toys produced didn't bother to include that different paint as a detail and represented him as all gold. So that one doesn't strike me as a great example personally, but many do. But the Mandela Effect concept itself actually fit neatly into my already established "worldview" if you will, so I had no trouble accepting it. I may have to do an expanded post sometime and see who thinks I'm crazy and who may have similar views.
Haha, great reply!
I should hope not; though that is a great headline right there!
Or as it is otherwise known, confirmation bias. :-)

A good and fair point. But I do believe that at this point human psychology is as non-exact a science as quantum mechanics, so it's difficult to assume there is no bias in the opposing viewpoint.

Definitely there will always be bias in the opposing viewpoint; though I would argue the non-exactness of psychology, there are definitely some very exact areas...
I can tell; we will have many more great debates, I am really enjoying this one; hence the follow! :-D

Thanks! I'm thinking I may start on that "Reality" post tonight. It's definitely a lot more "art" than science though. You seem a very logical and rational sort, it'd be interesting to hear your views!

I'm definitely a fan of logic; Spock is my spirit guide! Lolz :-) Yeah, can't wait to read it, coming from an artistic point of view is good, and can still through up many logic conclusions.
