You may or may not have heard of the Mandela Effect.
“a situation in which a large mass of people believes that an event occurred when it did not”
The term coming from a lot of people reporting later on that they felt that they remembered Nelson Mandela dieing in the ’80s or 90s.
When he, in fact, died in 2013.
I’ve seen the term getting misused more and more recently.
People coming to the realisation that they’d, perhaps, misremembered something.
And describing it as “The Mandela Effect”.
Or “My own personal Mandela Effect”.
Missing the relevant part of the Mandela Effect being a collective thing amongst multiple people.
What they have had, at best, a false memory.
Or really, in most cases, is just them being wrong.
And, as I mentioned on Monday, there’s nothing wrong with being wrong.
If we learn from it.
But we can just accept that we were wrong.
We don’t need to give it a fancier label.
We don’t need to change it to absolve ourself of responsibility for our error.
We don’t need to make it sound like something more than it is.
We were just wrong.
Like we’ve been wrong before.
And we’ll be wrong again.
Accepting that we’re probably wrong about something now can be that first step to then being right about it.
Imagine we were able to talk to our future self.
Us from, say, 2 or 10 years in the future.
What would future you tell you that you’re wrong about right now?
And, realising that, can we just start to be right about it now?
