The Mandela Effect as popularized by social media reminds me of...

[Mister Obvious]

The "What color is the dress?" debacle...



https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_dress

That was an experiment carried out on internet citizens, the purpose of which was to kill two birds with one stone...

It was a brilliant marketing scheme for the dresses (the white/gold one which started the meme, and the black/blue one which was available for sale at the time), but it was also a test to what degree they could make people doubt their own eyes, and furthermore vehemently defend their erroneous position.

It's a lot like the "Yanny vs. Laurel" debate...

As I commented on the video...

The reverb in between the pronounciation of ‘Laurel’ sounds like ‘Yanny’, but anyone who straight up hears ‘Yanny’ must be running on full lizard brain or something because that’s just ridiculous.

The "Yanny vs. Laurel" thing isn't nefarious in the same way the "Dress" controversy was, nevertheless, it is still incredibly suspect and intellectually offensive to suggest that it could be anything other than what it is... a pronunciation of "Laurel".

In part, the Mandela Effect seems to be an experiment to see just how far people will run with hysterical suppositions, based off having a different perspective brought to their attention.

It's sort of a huge ongoing domino effect of people saying, "Oh gee, I never saw it like that before!" and then running with that new perspective like nothing else could have ever been true.

I genuinely believe there is validity to some of the Mandela Effects... but a lot of the new things coming out are very much a case of running wild with new viewpoints on things, or simply remembering things wrong.

The built in excuse of "Well, I just came from a different timeline than you did and that's why we remember it differently" is far too simpleton and really demeans the entire concept of the Mandela Effect. 

There's a fine line, and a lot of discernment has to be used to keep up with new noticed effects, but not to get sucked into any bullshit.

Be an independent thinker. Believe your own eyes, believe your own ears.

Also notice from the two video thumbnails in the post, the same colors are used (teal/blue and red) for the lettering...

It's no coincidence.

These are all psychological operations.

Fuckin Bravo
For once someone tells it like it is.
Yes there is an effect, but all it seems is positive.
A regular shift which is natural.
It is not the end of the world, it is not the time to kill your dogs.
It is a time to celebrate living this dream when the shift took place.
I adjusted you adjusted many people adjusted in a positive way.
This is natural, although the adjustment bureau might be knocking on my door soon I will deal with it.

It's also important to keep in mind across social media platforms and comment sections on the internet, there is absolutely no guarantee that the "people" you are seeing discuss their opinions and perceptions are ACTUALLY real people...

They have mastered not only the paid shill aspect of comment section manipulation across the various platforms, but also the artificial intelligence tools needed to sway opinion as well.

So don't ever trust or believe something just because you see a lot of "people" in comment sections professing to believe one way or the other.

Trust nothing but your own judgement and senses, period.

[Mister Obvious]

That's why having your own private website or discussion platform is so important...

They aren't deploying paid shills or AI to your private website...

And if you have good moderation (synonymous with good discernment), it wouldn't matter if they did...

They wouldn't get a foot in the door and they wouldn't be able to deceitfully sway minds.

"But while pigments like red, brown, orange, and yellow come from the food animals eat, that's not the case with blue. In fact, that blue you see is not really a pigment at all." Read more: https://bestlifeonline.com/blue-in-nature/

You don't actually have blue eyes though. Do you believe your own science?

[Mister Obvious]

You should have posted that stuff here instead...

Dunno why you are talking about blue eyes on this thread.

It relates to perception of color. How do I know what your version of purple is? We might both choose the same picture that is agreed on as "purple" but how do you know your purple is my purple. 

Like smell. There's no way to prove what I smell as onions are the same thing you smell as onions. We can both agree we smell onions as they're being cut or cooked but what smells like onions to me may smell like something else as well.

Blue isn't blue. It's EVERY other color EXCEPT blue. *the more you know*

[somethingelseishere]

According to "science".

[Mister Obvious]

Kinda like how pink is only the complete absence of green.

"Science" and humanity's explanation of colors is one good example of a place where their ignorance and penchant for over complication to the highest degree is on pristine display.

I didn't know that.
