RE: How can you know what is real?
This is exciting stuff, kind of like makeup which manipulates a truth, or a certain selection of words to sculpt a perception - story books. I read some of Baudrillard’s entry, woooah love the part on symbolic exchange
There's so many of these great thinkers that I miss... thinking about - Roland Barthes, Walter Banjamin, Susan Sontag. I gobbled the stuff up in university and while a lot of it is pretentiously written (just as this blog entry!) it is so satisfyingly profound that everyday existential crises like "what will I wear?" seem manageable.
Oh yeas, it does help put the everyday dilemmas in to perspective doesn’t it. Like a check yourself before you wreck yourself
The irony. The specific Mandela effect I had in mind was 'Dilemna/Dilemma'.
I and many others remember it being an 'N', like Column or Autumn.
Apparently this was never true. Except it was.
Imagine how unnerving it would be if one day, 'solemn' autocorrected to 'solemm'.
You check a dictionary and it says, 'solemm'.
You ask friends and family and they all say it's always been 'solemm'
How long would you persist in your certainty that it used to have an 'N' at the end?
That's exactly how I feel about 'Dilemna'
Oh you're so right! It is dilemna isn't it, always has been. Much like the Berenstain/Berenstein Bears phenomenon?
Now it's on-chain, 'Dilemna' will never truly die.
Someone in an office somewhere just failed a KPI :)
Encapsulated in foreverness! A demotion may be called for, or maybe another chain will render this one redundant and invalid and it all becomes encrypted
