Australia is not where I remember it to be

[Swagnificent]

That's weird. You're convinced of the strength of your memory when it comes to the map of the world, but you can't remember the title of even just one book that informed your learning? Certainly buttresses the suggestion that your memory is more fragile than you care to admit.

I'd argue you'd be more likely to remember the title of a book with content in which you're interested, than you'd be to recall the full details of the world map. So...

Ok genius. Sorry that I can't remember the names of books of I read over a decade ago. I would argue remembering interesting facts in books that connect with you on an emotional level are easier to remember than the name of a book. For example, I remember where I was and how I felt when I first heard of what happened on 9/11. I was in my 1st period class in middle school when the principal made an announcement on the intercom. I remember the content of the message and I remember how I felt at time. However if you asked me to remember the name of my principal I couldn't. If you asked me to remember the name of my first period teacher or first period class I couldn't. Hell I couldn't even remember how they looked. But I can remember what he said. I can remember the discussions I had with classmates afterwards.

I know what I remember learning about human migrations to Australia even if I don't remember the specific book titles. I remember it because of the awe it made me feel to know humans from 50,000 years ago were able to traverse hundreds of miles to open ocean to reach the Australian continent. I remember looking at maps and thinking wow how could humans have done this. I personally remember feeling totally frightened if I would have made a similar journey.

Just like you couldn't convince me I didn't hear about 9/11 for the first time over the intercom in my first period class at middle school simply because I couldn't tell you the name of the class or principal, similarly you can't convince me I didn't see Australia located where I remember seeing it located for most of my life and that is thousands of miles south of it's present location.

I've just watched it, and I'm concerned about your ability to process things. If you paid any attention to the context, it's apparent that when she says Australia is far, it's in reference to the journey from Africa/Middle East. Maybe you should watch it again, because I don't think you were paying attention. It might explain why you didn't know where Australia is located on the map of the world.



Swimming across the channel is no easy feat, and takes a lot of preparation. It'd be a particularly useless mode of transport for a migrating people.



Australia is a lot larger and has a harsher terrain than Papua New Guinea. I think you're reaching here. China is close to countries like Tajikistan and Uzbekistan, but in the discussion on human migration, China is the proxy for the populating of that region.




I don't think your memory is as great as you think it is. I'm also convinced you're not as perceptive as you think you are. I don't say that to be insulting, just that it's the case with all humans.

Once again I'll give you bad memory if I only looked at maps sparingly.

Dude this is shyt I loved researching and studying. Hell beyond Australia, Papua New Guinea always fascinated me primarily because of their African apprearance and my love for black history globally. You can check my history I've posted significantly on almost every topic involving black and African history. I think I would have noticed Papua New Guinea is right next to Australia in all my years of learning about it. Like that is something I would have made a connection with.

Instead seeing the world map now with Australia this close to Papua New Guinea is a mindfukk for my consciousness. I don't know any other way to say it. Its tripping me the fukk out.

Don't make any judgement on my smarts - you don't know me. In any case, he didn't invent anything: he's just an investor. Also, unlike you, I don't think he knows more about quantum physics than I do, so I'm not taking his word for it. I'm going to need more than someone making an utterance.

LOL. Who the fukk do you think you are? The likelihood you have a PhD in Physics and are the lead Technology officer and founder of a multimillion dollar company like Geordie Rose is slim. If you're one of the 10 or so other people on earth with those credentials then all I gotta say is wtf you doing wasting ya time on a hip-hop message board?

Geordie Rose knows more about quantum physics than you. Shut the fukk up and accept it.

I don't think you studied Australia, as you can't remember a single book that could have shown what you claim to recall. Your memory is not that trust-worthy.

I doubt it. I could be wrong, though.

Interesting. Now who the fukk are you to tell me what I know or don't know?

I have my memory and I have my knowledge. If you choose to not believe me then so be it. But don't tell me when I should or shouldn't trust my memory.

"NO DUDE, TIME TRAVEL!"

***Sigh***

I feel bad for you guys.

One of the most significant and seismic events in human history has just occured and you are blind to it.

I guess this is a gift and a curse. A gift in that sense that I finally know the true nature of reality. And a curse since nobody who hasn't also experienced it will believe us.

Given what I've experienced the past week, I wouldn't say anything is impossible anymore.

 

[Free White & 21]

Deja Vu
Time Slippage
Mandela Effect
Flat Earth
Etc

In the theory of "digital reality" or "holographic universe" these are simply glitches or shortcomings of the system's limitations.

Don't worry about the haters, a lot people still can not think hypothetically - especially against their own ideas of reality.

I'm not asking you to recall the title of all the books you read a decade ago, I'm asking for the name of at least one book on a subject you claim to have studied extensively. This after all is thread built around the strength of your memory.

I should add that the anecdote you wrote above does actually confirm what I've been saying: your ability to recall detail isn't great. If you can't even recall the names and faces of people around whom you were, then there's no reason one should trust you to remember where Australia - a country to which you've never been - is located on the map.

TLDR: You've helped to buttress the argument that the Mandela effect is nothing more than the frailty of memory.

I know what I remember learning about human migrations to Australia even if I don't remember the specific book titles. I remember it because of the awe it made me feel to know humans from 50,000 years ago were able to traverse hundreds of miles to open ocean to reach the Australian continent. I remember looking at maps and thinking wow how could humans have done this. I personally remember feeling totally frightened if I would have made a similar journey.

Well, maybe the awe made you miss the position of Australia, and the countries around it, on the map. Or you don't pay as close attention to details as you seem to think.

Just like you couldn't convince me I didn't hear about 9/11 for the first time over the intercom in my first period class at middle school simply because I couldn't tell you the name of the class or principal, similarly you can't convince me I didn't see Australia located where I remember seeing it located for most of my life and that is thousands of miles south of it's present location.

Give it a few more decades, and you might hear people declare they remember the planes hitting three buildings, instead of two. That's a closer analogy. It's not that 9/11 didn't happen, it's that with time, the memory of some details get fudged.

Once again I'll give you bad memory if I only looked at maps sparingly.

You loved researching and studying, and you can't recall anything that informed your studies and research? The only documentary you could name contradicted your assertion. Just saying, based on everything you've said, I'm inclined to go with Occam's razor and not trust your memory.

Instead seeing the world map now with Australia this close to Papua New Guinea is a mindfukk for my consciousness. I don't know any other way to say it. Its tripping me the fukk out.

Never too late to actually notice a detail previously missed.

We're clearly talking about two different people. I was referring to the investor that made the claim. In any case, if Rose has any evidence, he can present it - or you can on his behalf. In any case, I'm not inclined towards accepting an utterance, just because you think it sounds nice.

Interesting. Now who the fukk are you to tell me what I know or don't know?

Well, clearly you shouldn't trust your memory. You've stated that you can't "even remember how [your principal and a teacher] looked". These are people with whom you had physical interactions. Further, you've stated that despite studying a subject extensively you can't remember the name of a single book that you used in said studies. Considering the OP relies on your memory versus reality...Just saying.

And you still think Australia isn't in the tropics?

[Beck.er.]

We can't all be wrong for remembering the same exact shyt.

Yes, yes you can.

Besides your argument is that the Billions of people who share a different memory from you are all wrong.

If you don't want to believe say that.

Just know that nothing you say will convince me that what I remember is false.

You're probably a simulation in this matrix designed to fukk with us.

Fukk off.

Look fakkit. I never said my memory was better than anyone's or perfect. Its as limited as any human.

This is just one fact I know is as real to me as my name. So I may not remember the names of books or the faces of people from a decade ago. But I do remember this as vividly as my name.

And just like you couldn't convince me my name was something else even if every piece of evidence in this reality said otherwise, you won't convince me that the location of Australia hasn't changed.

So go troll someone else fukk boy cause I'm done trying to explain myself to you.

 

[Swagnificent]

Never said yall are wrong.

You guys are either from another reality or your memories were modified by the Matrix while ours weren't.

I have never said you guys are the ones with the wrong memories. I'm just saying my memory of the reality I remember is as true as this one you and I currently reside in.

And you still think Australia isn't in the tropics?

In the reality I remember Australia still was hot. But was located south of New Zealand. You guys were not anywhere close to Papua New Guinea.

And I got one question: Does Australia have rain forests now?

I read that somewhere and it blew my mind. The Australia from my previous reality was a barren desert in the center with some nice green lands along the perimeter of the country. I never heard of that Australia having anything close to a rainforest.
