Have you ever been certain that the Monopoly Man wears a monocle, or that Darth Vader said, “Luke, I am your father”? You're not alone.

Welcome to the Mandela Effect—a phenomenon where large groups of people share the same false memory. In this episode of The Inquisitive Mind, we delve into the psychology behind these collective misrememberings. We'll explore how our brains can create vivid yet inaccurate memories, the role of social and cognitive reinforcement, and how the digital age amplifies these effects.

Join us as we unravel why our memories aren't as reliable as we think and what this means for our understanding of reality.
