The Mandela Effect
Regarding this Stuff NZ article; NZ and the ‘Mandela Effect’: Meet the folks who remember New Zealand being in a different place (October 12, 2016)
I’ve known about these Mandela Effect people (online) for a few months now. Oh dear.
NLP folks will all be nodding their heads in amusement, as will magicians the world over. David Copperfield will be turning in his grave. Wait. Copperfield is alive? I could swear the Chinese Wall swallowed him up in the ’80s! Damn. I must have taken a bend in the space-time curvature too fast or something. :-/
Isn’t it interesting how the Internet gives us so much freedom and opportunity to grow as an intelligent species … yet at the same time, the ever misguided masses use it to dumb themselves down, faster than ever.
Large numbers of people believing in something, despite facts or good reason, are perhaps the most dangerous threats to not only civilisation but to our very species. Surely no one could disagree with that.
Belief systems. Hell, we should remove the word, “belief” from the @#$! dictionary, as far as I’m concerned. The word, “hallucination” covers it better. Perhaps belief in the present is a requirement for sanity and a good thing, in the grand scheme of things. What is not good, is believing in our beliefs, despite all evidence — regardless of the dimension we got kicked into last night.
Logiks for da wise!
P.S.: Spread the word! Everyone needs to STOP USING AUTOMATIC WASHING MACHINES IMMEDIATELY! Every time one of those things hits a spin cycle, it creates another dimension-changing time vortex! If it weren’t for clothes dryers doing likewise at a tangent, we’d all be truly screwed. (I was the first one ever to figure this out, by the way. Just saying.)
