Do you remember that young man then of the Tian An Men Square incident of the year 1989, who stood firmly in front of roaring tanks? Did he die on the sport or survived the event?
there are many ongoing anomalies as we discuss this so the mandela effect is hardly the most ind blowing of them all. just a rather weird mass remembrance of something supposedly not there.
anyway, I would term it as the little nitty gritty changes that I cant put a finger on.
Indulge me for abit. Let's say we get whisked away for whatever reasons,
For example, if today we wake up in someplace not our home but another faraway place modelled exactly or made to look like our home, we would at first not feel anything off until after some time, we realise that the air smells abit different but we brush it off as change in weather or wind blowing some smell from some place.
Then we realise our crickety door which creaks when we open it fully does not creak anymore but we brush it off as well. We turn on the radio and the song by the red hot chilli peppers raindance mary sounds exactly the same but we realise that the cowbells in the intro isn't there.
perhaps the resolution of the player not good enough I guess. or a new version of raindance Maggie. As we lie in our beds, we feel that the bed is suddenly so firm and so correct. I remember my bed being softer and sinking in at the area I tend to be sleeping more on......
As I reach for a drink with my free magnolia cup, I realise that the slighty worned off magnolia logo, (a result of my mother trying to whiten my mug by washing it in bleach to remove stains also removed a small part of the logo) is now back in its full glory.
the small insignificant things but nonetheless not quite right things. what went wrong with the bigger picture no one can really put a finger to it but these errors make us feel uneasy that something hasn't always been the way it used to be.
memory is never perfect, weak at times, fallible as shown in the documentary brain games......but our memory is not as poor or as lousy as what many others purport. everytime we question something against the norm, it surely had to be one's bad memory. human memory can be unreliable but not lousy to the extent that we keep on remembering so many wrong things.
memory being fallible and unreliable is a very current fad and convenient method to brush away all suggestions of things being contrary to the mainstream and the masses.
