Refusing to "trust the experts" is meant to be a brave, responsible position.
But (as Carl explains in the thread) there is too much knowledge in the world. You have to trust *somebody*, much of the time.
If you have no trust in experts, you end up trusting the idiots.

1. "'Trusting the experts is not a feature of either a science or democracy," Kennedy said."
It's literally a vital feature of both science and of representative democracy.

So the Mandela Effect happens because memory is complicated and contains different types of information (for example, visual info about what we saw and emotional info about how we felt about it). When we remember, our brain has to pull from different areas and assemble it and make sense of it.

I had high expectations for the PBS documentary on Hannah Arendt, which premiered last night. www.pbs.org/wnet/america...
They were exceeded. "Hannah Arendt: Facing Tyranny" excelled in doing just what the title says. Facing it.

A simulation of the "aerial screw" designed by Leonardo da Vinci in 1480 suggests it would use less power than modern drone rotors to generate the same lift, and make less noise too
