There are a few examples of the Mandela Effect that resonate with me.
I’m not going to cite those examples because they have all been cited before.
Instead, I offer a different question…
What are the common traits among those who experience the ME? Why some and not others and what can we learn about the ME based on those who experience it?
Topics like the ME, which a previous poster references as akin to UFOs/ET/etc., need to be explored from the basis of being a real “thing”. Not “pseudoscience” or anything of that ilk.
As an example - people who have observed UFOs or paranormal phenomenon first hand. For those people, myself included, whatever you observed is a real thing. You saw it. No amount of deniers will change your mind and they shouldn’t… because it’s a real thing.
“False memories” do or can happen. Paredolia does or can happen. But, just because some people may experience one of those things doesn’t mean everyone does. They aren’t catch-alls for every memory someone has had or thing they have seen - they are means of discrediting observers.
I fully recall Nelson Mandela dying many years ago. I saw it in school and on the news. I recall this with some clarity. So what happened? Was this a false memory? Probably not - many others recall this and we named the ME what we did for a reason. One person can have a false memory but what’s the probability that many people did over the same topic from all over the world? Pretty low.
So if it isn’t a false memory, people go to the “glitch in the matrix” angle. That’s possible but then why did some of us experience it and others didn’t? What can we glean about the people who did experience the ME? Are these people different in a quantifiable way? Do they have a set of common traits or backgrounds? Were we part of a test? Psyop?
Quantitative analysis of the ME experiencers would probably tell us what we need to know but to my knowledge that hasn’t been done.
I have no “answers” to my question as I don’t enough data. I do think that if studied from the perspective of who ME experiences are we would find at-minimum some ideas to chase that would help us better understand the phenomenon.
