Creating a false reality

Lies and Memory

 

I have heard of cases where a person has lied about something so much that (s)he eventually came to remember it that way. I wonder if when people are given a fake account of history it somehow alters our collective reality.

There has been alot of research done that indicates that memory is subjective. If one person strongly insists that an event occurred one way then another person is more likely to report that it occurred the same way. Later when there is no pressure on the person to report it either way they will still claim that it happened the way the other person insisted.

Your brain is able to manipulate your memory so the longer is has been in there the bigger the chance that what you remember isn't what really happened.

 

about your question:

The best public know subject about it is commercials radio/tv etc.

even in the 50-60 years they were already 'Devilish'.

So are you sure they did teach you Shakespeare because of Shakespeare or do they like the side effect more. ;)
