Have you ever heard about the Misinformation Effect?
Let me give a brief description here:
We think that memories are played back like recordings, but they get modified and corrupted by current information and sensibilities, i.e., memories are highly influenced by the present. (Source: The Book). Read more here.
I noticed an example of this effect at play:
The TV series Gmae of Thrones gives an amazing description of people, emotions, attitudes, clothes, and architecture of the mythical land of Westeros set in (perhaps) medieval age. Seems so wonderful! We tend to believe that it is like how it would have been in the history.
But hey!!
That's not real. This is not how it was. It could have been totally different. The misinformation effect is at play here.
Ohhhh..
Alright. Definitely it is not real. The people, the emotions, the attitudes, the clothes, and the architecture of the mythical land of Westeros are all influenced by our present sense of aesthetics and sensibilities.
But hey!! Aren't they beautiful?
The way they are. Isn't it exquisite?
Beauty in its totality when seen all by itself.
More amazing are the minds of the creative directors of the show. If the creation is so impeccable and magnificent, how the mind of the creator will be!
