I was just thinking about when the umpa loompa's were called floopa

And another thing I have noticed . Sometimes I have seen really good threads on BHW. Then I wake up and they have gone, almost as though they never existed. #themandelaeffect

I thought they Found his body under a bridge in 2015. http://empirenews.net/shocking-dna-results-revealed-body-of-elderly-homeless-man-identified-as-elvis-presley/

It might be time travelers, fucking with time, the mandela effect is a symptom of the butterfly effect.

I believe it relates to something called anchoring - I read this in a book called thinking fast and slow.

Anchoring is where our minds are pulled towards the most current information that we have.

In this book there was an experiment given as an example where a number of people were asked how old elvis was when he died (Or someone like that). Before they answered they had to spin a wheel that would stop on a random number. Actually the wheel was rigged and half of the respondents were shown a higher number, and the majority of those people guessed a higher age of death- due to anchoring and the brain using that number as a base to start from, albeit subconsciously.

I think with the example in this post it's something similar - for me I had it in my mind that stain is the term for a mark / spillage / mess but beren as well as the two combined words seemed more unusual, a word I had not heard and thus possibly a foreign word or a Latin word or the name of a classical song or something thus it seemed more likely that stein would go with the first word. So once again the subconscious is anchored towards the first spelling because of those known associations.

Thats a really interesting theory on it and might explain some of the memories, but I would think anchoring would apply to instances where people see something or are asked a question that do not recall information or facts that have vivid memories associated with them, instead being more related to instances where someone has to "guess" at the answer or information.

Many people, including myself, seem to recall very specific memories of things in details. If it was an anchoring effect, then some how the mandela effect would include some sort of mass delusion. The question would then arise, what causes this mass delusion affecting the memories of millions of people on very specific things?

There is something to this manadela effect, and I have been contemplating how this effect or even "anchoring" could be used for marketing purposes.

Nice post! Im into this and even stranger things, so if you ever want to chat for a possibly unlimited time on weird topics, feel free to PM me . its not bs the rabbit hole goes sooo deep

Being able to think so outside the box can be very beneficial in many areas of life including IM. Those that say it is all BS are unfortunate as they have a disadvantage imo

Thanks. Yeah feel free to connect with me. My skype name is same as UN here.

I agree with you about how thinking outside of the box on all matters is key to success not just in IM but life in general. As i mentioned above, there is something to this mandela effect, Im not quite sure yet what it is, but there is no way millions of people share vivid, collective memories that are false and can easily be dismissed as cognitive dissonance. I have looked at a lot of theories attempting to debunk it, but usually those theories work well for small groups of individuals, but not people en-masse into the millions.

Perhaps it is an experiment being conducted.

Time travel could be an explanation, but that seems so far out there for many. But then you see stuff like this:



Another theory suggests we are all actually in a computer simulation (e.g. The Matrix) and a small glitch has occurred, changing one letter from an "E" to an "A" as in the stein vs stain, but somehow not affecting anyone's original memories. Aand who really wants to be a computer simulation in the first place. No one would ever choose this as an answer.

As some commenters here stated, perhaps everyone, including myself, is suffering simultaneously from a mass delusion on a global scale. But the question to this is why and what has caused this. @David355 suggested is it an anchoring effect? Then why do people have lucid memories of events?

Maybe we are under some type of marketing experiment.

For me and you obviously, discussions like this open our minds up and we seek answers, explanations and solutions to things like the mandela effect.

Ive seen the Mike Tyson Debunking. There are actually ten instances in the video above, the one that really catches my interest is the one that starts at minute 3:27

This is the best example yet. lol Maybe the Mods are time travelers.

Oh man, you are gonna get me going now haha! Yes i have spent many years on these topics and I have to be careful not to truly cause a mental breakdown in simple minds, however we have a duty to enlighten the less fortunate like in Platos "the allegory of the cave" which might I add was quite the thought for 1500 years ago
Then there is the fact that we never truly see anything as it is, because our senses are limited, such as not being able to see small enough, uv light, infrared, etc. That we only see a representation of what is out there in a shared reality because of similar programming and projection of a type of hologram in our brain is that we actually "see"
The matrix is not that out there of a theory and we will soon be able to possibly program a similar project as virtual reality gets more advanced, so who says it hasnt already happened in the past. In fact we are only maybe 100 years away or less according to Moores law which has been accurate for decades.
Look at ancient Indian texts like the Mahabharata which describe nuclear weapons to the tee and flying craft. Imagination from several 1000's of years ago with no inspiration from movies and such? Highly unlikely!
And time travel is likely possible today and even mentioned in ancient scripts and even the Bible
False memories, yeah it is happening. If this has already happened in the past, then possibility that you have only been alive for 1 day and the rest is false
Recording dreams? It can happen, yet noone can fully explain dreams yet
Einsteins favorite book and inspiration...exactly these types of topics which created a genius with outside the box thinking...

Technological singularity approaching because of moores law? Read up! Its nearing!

Also Puma Punku stones have been tested in a lab and even modern technology such as lasers and diamond saws could not make as clean of a cut as these had under microscope.

Might I add that all this is old news if it is open to the public. That means it has been done silently for at least 10 years first withing govt and black budget projects. I have literraly caused people to seriously question their role in this life with these topics before so I better stop hijacking your thread now as I could go on forever with even more disturbing stuff!

Thought I was logged into ATS for a second. @pewep your thoughts?

Wow... feeling numb already!

I personally think this has a lot to do with "western media". coming from an international background (eastern european, germany, now in the US), i've spent several years in each country/area, i realized the media in america is completely uninformative and flawed and i think this plays a role in how people remember one thing but it was the other. mistakes in the media might have been corrected later, however, due to lack of technology back then, the mistakes were not highlighted to be "corrected" later on.

this does not apply to everything mentioned in this thread - just my opinion.

Hehe, I remember reading about this. Not too sure what to say. It's entirely possible that our brains process information along specific paths - purely out of efficiency and habit. Therefore Stein seems like a more likely last name than Stain, etc...

That's my standard bullshit skeptic response.

yes, dimension jumping is a very real thing - check out reddit if you want to blow your fucking minds. You can trigger this at will by staring at a mirror until it goes black then flipping. I've done it before on a few things. There are an infinite number of universes, so have a blast .

I'm not entirely sure how to react to this.

Wanna really blow your mind? Watch this vid:

Sorry but I am not in the US culture and don't know this thing, but Im pretty watched the AVGN's new episode about this bear lol (if you dont know AVGN, it is video game nerd, you can search it on youtube), I think you guys talking the same thing.

One in four people in the world will be affected by mental or neurological disorders at some point in their lives. Around 450 million people currently suffer from such conditions, placing mental disorders among the leading causes of ill-health and disability worldwide.

No man, really interesting stuff for sure. You put it together really good for people to see the tip of the ice berg. Keep sharing, its not hijacking the thread when you are contributing. The thread is supposed to discuss these things. Did you see thee video @Jesse Custer shared above?

Wow!!! Im sure not to many people will get or understand all of the references in this, or even watch the whole thing. But I watched the whole video and my mind is definitely blown at the extent of the comparisons. There were a few things that really stuck out to me, probably because of my culture here in the US, but I am totally astounded how the simpsons solved the Higgs Boson theory (The God Particle) 14 years before it was discovered. Insane!

After watching this, it makes me think even more about things like the simpsons prediction of Trumps presidential run, etc.

So what is your personal take on this subject? Do you think someone has traveled back in time? Mass delusion? or just WTF?

Great thread Skybug, the topic of cognitive dissonance and the reasons why propaganda work are interesting to look at after the US election.

In a world where everyone is constantly distracted, no-one has time to read in-depth explanations for information, and so everyone takes things on face value and adds that information to their existing world view.

It's all going very Orwell 1984!
