Let me ask a question that is the reverse of one that, I believe Dave was asking before. Who has access to this site but has not seen any strange memories? A lot of people have mentioned the phenomenon of memories that have been recalled, but don't seem to fit with the rest of your life, or what you remember. I still love the term 'hallucinomemories.' But it can't be all of us, statistically. A related but different question, every time we talk about this, I have to bring up that I'm not an expert in memory. So do we have anybody on this site who is? Psychologists, researchers, somebody who worked in a memory lab during grad school? I'll take anything.

Karl Bergfried For a certain definition of "comforting," I suppose.
Karl Bergfried That is a very interesting thought, though.
Karl Bergfried So you think we may be, quite literally, part of a social experiment?

Hitori Togusa If there is some intentionality behind what they're doing? Then yes.
Hitori Togusa It feels just barely organized enough to have a scientific structure to it, but just barely not organized enough that the people running the experiment are not good at their jobs.
