I tried posting this on the Mandela Effect sub and it didn't go well. Someone wanted to argue. I'm certainly not gonna type it out again. But I did take a couple screenshots. 🪑🫈🪑

🤷🏼‍♀️ this is subjective

A phenomenon doesn't stop being psychologic because its collective.

But you’re speaking with certainty about something we haven’t fully explored let alone explained, and I take issue with that. A psychological phenomenon experienced by millions of people should be scientifically studied… Being a psychological phenomenon doesn’t mean there isn’t some non-psychological explanation for it.

Havana Syndrome was thought to be some psychological condition, turns out it’s not. I’ve listened to people dismiss Havana Syndrome as purely psychological with the same certainty that you speak with right now, and they were all wrong.

Neither of us can adequately explain the phenomenon, and it’s arrogant and closed-minded to assume you know the explanation.

Oh i never said not to research the topic, just with a scientific method, not a complotist method, thats all 🤷🏼‍♀️😐

The only thing i know for certain is that we don't know for certain.

I mean, this entire conversation started with someone completely dismissing the phenomenon and saying “I can’t believe people still believe this.” I know you didn’t say that, but you’re defending that person’s point of view with your follow-ups.

If that’s how you feel, you might want to preface your initial comment with that information before it gets misconstrued as support for a point of view you don’t hold.

Im not defending anyone but a simple basic common sense 🤷🏼‍♀️ i chose to answer to you to nuance what you were saying not to defend the other person

But you didn’t provide nuance, you provided an analogy that doesn’t even apply to this phenomenon...

It was just an example to explain why i was nuancing?

My point was just "many people believing X doesn't automatically means X is true" 🤷🏼‍♀️
