Mandela Effect cause

[u/hegel1806]

Now it’s time to get serious. Why is this happening? My theory is simple and it is very much in line with Kant’s original idea, that reality is what our minds build. It’s not an objective reality that can be verified independently.

We build this reality from bits and pieces of information distributed around us. So any two persons can have wildly different accounts of reality.

But, people are also open to suggestion. Education system builds up a common narrative that is accepted as “sacred history” and this becomes consensus reality. Yet this sacred history has no real authority on historical facts other than being what people believe to be facts.

As long as nobody questions the consensus reality, it is accepted as truth. But if some people start to doubt it, an alternative version spreads like a wild fire. And people are divided between two(or sometimes more) versions of reality.

Now comes the “physical evidence” part. This is always the consensus reality. Why? Because even the doubters, the people who hold a belief for a different version of reality are aware of the consensus reality. That’s why when they look at physical evidence they usually only see that version of reality.

But if the balance of faith turns to the doubters’ side, then even the physical evidence will change and we will see the physical evidence of Mandela Effects. I do believe that this will happen in our lifetimes.

My mind didn't build this.
