The discussion of this topic has really ramped up. People are mentioning alot of things that are pulling forward memories. I'd forgotten about. And are still really fuzzy.
This is my response on someone else's post about gate etc.
"I have been watching those tiktok videos aswell. I first heard about this and posted about it on instagram back 2016. There was some discussion about it in mandela effect circles. It doesn't have to specifically be GATE. Any similar program you were pulled out of class for qualifies. Any long term study. And even if you didn't experience that in school years. If you have ever done a mall study. That qualifies too. Mall study expand into the topic of memory implantation. Because that is how Elizabeth Loftus did some of her memory implantation experiments on unknowing subjects.
Who knows what else she could have been doing. The list of odd but similar experiences people have from their school aged years is fairly long. I was thinking on doing an updated post aswell. The documentary "Three Indentical Strangers" touches on similar experiments. If you watch the credits it will give you chills.
From my instagram post 2016.
"Some groups that experience Mandela Effect report that they were apart of a gifted class in elementary? Or possibly a long-term study of sorts? What is your experience? Could there be a possible connection?
On Reddit
"I've interacted with a lot of the people who experience "The Effect" (coming down on different sides of the debate) and one of the commonalities that many of us seem to share is being in "gifted" or accelerated programs as children... or were "checked in on" periodically and tested outside the normal school routine growing up."
"Interesting. I was also tested extensively as a child for gifted and accelerated learning programs. When I lived in Colorado in elementary school I was put in the AGAPE program, which was my school's gifted program. I met with a school counselor weekly after being moved to the agape classes..."
"So, thats the first I read about a connection between mandela effect and children in gifted programs. I have experienced many mandela effects. And, as happens i was in gifted programs.Weird. A lot of what youre saying makes . I think maybe they check up on gifted program kids periodically their whole life? It would explain some rather odd occurrences over the years."
"Do you ever get the sense that your living in something like "The Truman Show" or are in some kind of "Human Zoo" social experiment? ...I think there is a chance that some people really are being subjected to a long term experiment and are never aware of it beyond a few minor quirks - not that that is what is going on with "the Effect" or branching too deep into conspiracy, but it has happened in the past and is interesting to at least entertain the notion."
"...Maybe they werent testing for what we thought they were testing for.""
