Is this a case of explaining away gas-lighting, with more gas-lighting? Recording device or not, memory recovery, such as that from trauma, can with patience and persistence bring about memory recall accurately over time. It’s been strongly suggested that the subject should be viewed/scrutinized from a different perspective. The social experiment hypothesis is an alternative explanation to the above memory failure theory. It’s based on the idea that during the 1990’s, the American mass media was responsible for heavily affecting our memories. It claims that almost all memory changes can be linked to this era. Put simply, because of the many alterations, edits, overdubs, and format changes to media, our memories were affected. With so many different versions, we formed our own memories based on them. Our memories are not from the real ones, hence the Mandela effect. It was dubbed the social experiment hypothesis because the many alterations in the 1990’s kind of acted as a psychological experiment.

Apple, meanwhile, announced the Vision Pro in 2023, launched it in 2024, and has barely talked about it since - and certainly not on earnings calls. Both companies would argue that the technology just isn’t there yet, and to the extent AR and VR are compelling, it’s because of the money and time they have spent developing it. I wonder, however, about a counter-factual where AR and VR were developed by a constellation of startups, not big companies: how much more innovation might there have been? Or, perhaps the bigger problem is that there was not - and, given that all of the investment is a line item in large company budgets, could not be - a bubble around AR and VR. More generally, tech simply wasn’t much fun by the time 2020 rolled around. You had your big five tech companies who had each carved out their share of the market, unassailable in their respective domains, and the startup industry was basically itself another big tech company: Silicon Valley Inc., churning out cookie-cutter SaaS companies with a proven formula and low risk.

They have a narrow waist with a clear pinch in the middle. Their antennae bend. Swarmers still have four wings, yet the front pair looks longer than the rear pair. If you can safely trap a few in a clear bag or container, a close look under bright light often solves the mystery. Termites live in hidden, organized colonies with workers, soldiers, and reproductive members. Workers do most of the eating and damage. They prefer dark, damp spaces and avoid open air whenever they can. That is why they build mud tubes along foundations and walls. The tubes act like covered highways that protect them from dry air and predators. They gain most of their food from cellulose. In simple terms, that means wood and other plant based material. Porch posts, subfloors, drywall paper, cardboard boxes, and baseboards all turn into a buffet if moisture levels suit them. Many species build colonies in the soil near or under a structure. From there they travel through cracks, joints, or gaps in concrete to reach wood.

The musicians and singers called upon in these situations are professional and versed in many styles of music, as are the producers and sound engineers. These sessions may account for a portion of a larger budget, and therefore scheduling and performance are emphasized. The environment doesn't lend itself to creativity and idea exchange. The people involved are expected to know their jobs, do their jobs and move on to the next job. While a good manager and music producer will have the rock band rehearsed, scheduled, planned and ready (to save money) departures from this environment are common. Bands may wish to explore new ideas and directions as they emerge. This may lead to experimental recordings and "jam sessions," during which the band members try new arrangements, songs or lyrics. Sound engineers and music producers can play a large role in this mix, keeping up with the evolving ideas, capturing the good ones and discarding the bad ones, trying to keep the project on track without stymieing the creative energy.
