False memoriews

Yep.. I am an expert in that subject.

Over the muscle vs. under the muscle is a huge (not pun) factor.

Boob jobs are great.

Kids, do NOT google "pearl necklace" and then definitely do NOT view any images after said googling.

Don't do it.

I don't really get false memories

But I do have dreams that, as of late, I've been having a hard time grasping that they aren't reality.

Ambien gave me extremely vivid dreams. Was unnerving so I stopped using it. Would rather not sleep at all.


I don't know how much I buy into the false memory thing, or how much of it is false verses filtered, which isn't exactly the same thing. I think we modify and alter our memories, both at the time the memories are formed originally, and over time, to better fit our personal story-line, which is the running narrative of our lives that everyone builds to some degree or another. I guess that is a form of falsification.

That's a big part of it. Another is that we modify our memories to fit the perception of others, especially when they sound confident.

Do you ever watch Brain Games on the Science channel? Fascinating stuff.

Please stop derailing this thread. I liked the direction it was going.
 
my idea of "false memories" is a movie called The Way We Were.

I see "false memories" in my daily life, and when I hear about what my ex-wife said to my sister five years ago. . . .

I might even try to argue that the term is an oxymoron, especially when it involves money, or lawyers.

but as for your obvious real topic, let's just say people are fragile, though not as fragile as our grasp of reality. . . . . if people can't stretch things, they break them.

People sometimes find unbelievable ways to cope with huge inconsistencies between their "real" vs. "ideal" takes on things. One way to maintain a healthy mind is talking, or writing. It's a good life skill, with rewards in unexpected areas. . . . like dealing with trauma, major accidents, or other horrific crises in life. . . . .

belief in "authority" is imo a major source of "false memory" phenomena. People who are focused on authority issues sometimes really can't connect reality.

guess I've become somewhat immune to typos :-)
