Rant. Quantum decoherence? "The Mandella effect." and CERN. Your thoughts.

The only story about the so-called "Mandela effect" is that some ignorant people got Mandela mixed up with another black guy dead in the 80s and were surprised to hear about him again when he really died. You never told yourself "Oh, I thought he was dead already" when you heard about the death of a celebrity? It's the same thing, and conspiracy theorists managed to invent something out of this.

Nothing to do with the multiple worlds theory, the CERN or anything. If you pay attention, you'll see that usually people believing in crazy theories about CERN are people not understanding anything about science or what the CERN is doing. Basically, if your neighbor is doing something you don't understand, then (s)he must be an evil witch involved in some evil scheme, no doubt about that. Just as interesting as the flat Earth people...

Earth is full of "Maple Streets" where the worst enemy is fear and paranoia.

"The tools of conquest do not necessarily come with bombs and explosions and fallout. There are weapons that are simply thoughts, attitudes, prejudices – to be found only in the minds of men. For the record, prejudices can kill – and suspicion can destroy – and a thoughtless frightened search for a scapegoat has a fallout all of its own – for the children – and the children yet unborn."
