The Mandela Effect and mass formation psychosis are both concepts related to the perception and memory of collective events, but they have different origins and implications.
The Mandela Effect refers to a phenomenon where a large group of people remembers an event or detail differently from the actual historical record. This can include misremembering names, dates, or even entire events. It is often attributed to the fallibility of human memory and the spread of misinformation.
On the other hand, mass formation psychosis is a term coined by Dr. Robert Malone to describe a hypothetical psychological phenomenon where a large group of individuals becomes highly suggestible and susceptible to shared delusions or distorted perceptions of reality. It suggests that under certain conditions, collective beliefs and behaviors can emerge, leading to a shared psychosis.
While both concepts involve collective perceptions and memories that differ from objective reality, the Mandela Effect is seen as a result of individual and cultural memory distortions, while mass formation psychosis is a theoretical framework for understanding how collective beliefs and behaviors can influence group dynamics and perception. It is important to note that mass formation psychosis is not a widely accepted scientific concept and is subject to ongoing debate and discussion among experts.
