Isn’t the Mandela Effect like, literally, people just refusing to believe they’re wrong about how they remember something?
Don’t get me wrong, it’s still fun. In one way, maybe even moreso for that being the “real” underlying reason. We’ll do anything to prove we are not and physically could not be wrong.
Now, this might just be a dumb late at night thought after making too many videos, but it’s got me wondering… People tend to talk about Mandela Effect things as those they are the end result of some other process. That is, reality was changed at the quantum level, so therefore an effect was caused where some small detail of life got changed.
But what if it’s the other way around, and the glitches themselves, the noticing & propagating them is what causes reality itself to be changed, by opening up gaps in certainty?
Almost like… on some level the universe itself doesn’t care that much, but is just trying to serve up whatever it perceives the consensus to be. And it’s actually agnostic about the underlying truth value, because it’s all plastic and malleable to it anyway: including the future, present, past, and all their variations…
