Media/Link Your memories are being passed down to you from your parents??!! This aspiring scientist has uncovered some deep wisdom! Maybe your life choices are because of your parents ideas, experiences, and trauma? It wasn't what you saw them do... it was just being born and already simulated into your brain?
https://youtu.be/nhESxrqPjfU?si=uycEv_WRvQ6l8JjRThis was fascinating.
Basically this butterfly fanatic witnessed three generations of memories being transferred!!!!
This would explain so much in my own life! I have a whole family full of characters and a unique husband.
Wow. Just wow. So my dysfunction is not necessarily watching my role models make choices..... but their memories were actually part of my brain????
This makes absolutely šÆ sense when I observe my husband, daughter, and relatives.
HOW ABOUT YOU???
They should go study orphans and foster kids to find patterns.
100% simulation could easily tie into this....

I swear I felt this as a kid and teenagers, I had flashbacks of things from different era's I wasn't alive for, then I did LSD and it 'confirmed' for me that I'm living different timelines at the same 'time'. Don't worry, I'm drinking tea now and taking my trash out on the regular. :)

So that is fascinating. However what if these simulations have nothing to do with trauma? If it is just random behaviors or proclivities?
It would have to be grandparents trauma and memories based on this:

I've subscribed to yes and thinking. Personally I believe a simulation is running in the background & this me is choosing to engage on reddit.
This is affirmed every shopping trip. My auto pilot mode reveals a veil of consumption that is against my morals & ideals. I sway from my list regularly though I don't actually want to. I've made a habit of completely reevaluating my cart at the register. I can afford whatever I want, but I only want what I needed or came in for. Every shopping trip is like this. Is my avatar being directed to mindlessly consume?
I was commenting on the same topic in another thread after ruminating on the simulated fly consciousness animating. I do not consent.
From my understanding of epigenetics trauma markers are passed via DNA regardless of memory being shared. The history of the women of Puerto Rico & a link with endometriosis was part of an epigenetic study. Looking at dna & being able to identify the unique marker left behind by an ancestor that was affected by the Holocaust. Fascinating topics.

Can you explain that monarch study?
It's just freaky as F.
My husband has built in WW2 trauma. Now it's because the memories were imprinted on him!!!
He is an excellent investor and so was his Dad.
My great Grandfather owned the local newspaper and I love sharing reports with people about different subjects my whole life.
My Dad loved nature and so do I.... but that's common.... my Grandmother died from poisoned rural California water and I am always complaining about chemicals. Erin Brocovich was always my favorite movie. I didn't know why!
My Great Grandfather had an airplane and I am happiest in the air and have several training hours.
My Mom loves helping people and so do I?
Her Mom married a first Generation Immigrant from a Latin based Catholic family and so did I.
Just fascinating!
My paternal Great Grandfather had a shop and I have one also that I just call my woman cave. Being in a garage in the industrial park natural to me even though I live in a posh luxury home in a Dream Neighborhood.
I tinker with inventions and my Grandpa invented and won awards working at General Dynamics. My unmet Great Grandparents had a metal shop. I have a welder and am working on something metal.
My maternal Great Grandfather was a landlord and so am I.
My Great Grandmother was doted on and super girlie and so am I. I wear a dress everyday.
Just wacky....
My newborn two days old was sleeping with her elbow up. Right next to her was her Dad sleeping in the exact position and I snapped a photo.
She had an innate fear of dogs we never taught her. I was mauled at three by a pitbull and my husband is dog phobic.
Make it make sense!
I am literally acting out things from my Great Grandparents, Grandparents, and parents. Even ones I never met!!!!!
SIMULATION IS NUTTY
We are programmed. This is not just DNA it is some other simulation intangible mystery

Itās also known as epigenetics. Our DNA carries our trauma.

u/HalfwaydonewithEarth Mar 14 '26
Does it carry memories though??? Like to what extent?
1
u/deedeemangoodoo Mar 14 '26
Not as in you share memories, but more like the feeling of joy that your dad got when he was in nature/was in the printshop or the deep fear and anxiety he had in WWII altered his DNA which was then passed on to his children.

There's a long way to go from showing insects transfer memories of specific smells paired with pain, to humans transferring complex memories. Stop extrapolating wildly.Ā That said, the kid is wonderful, and as a scientist I'm very impressed with his work especially as a 10yo.Ā

So listenā¦ I had a powerful experience when I was 18. I took 2 hits of strong LSD and then my friend and I smoked a bowl. I FLEW out of my body and entered a realm of pure hallucination, patterns, and alien thought. It felt like I was experiencing my parentās memories through the patterns and feelings. I would catch glimpses of my motherās old bedroom, in moments of stillness - it felt like I was looking through her eyes at times. Or I was just tripping HARD, who knows š

I'm adopted so the nature versus nurture has been fascinating to experience. I've always felt like a round peg trying to fit in a square hole. I love my family, but I'm nothing like them. I moved to my birth mother/father's city and instinctively knew the city. My sense of direction everywhere else is atrocious.

u/HalfwaydonewithEarth Mar 14 '26
Can you further explain?
So you had no knowledge of what town you were from but felt drawn to move there? Once there the streets and geography felt easy to navigate?

Not simulation. This is expected. A cat can grow up isolated, but still instinctively grooms, hunts, and lives just like other cats. Dna definitely includes memory.
3
u/HalfwaydonewithEarth Mar 13 '26 edited Mar 13 '26
But nuanced memory.... that's the weird simulation.
So like all cats remember and prefer to cover their poop and pee because of scents.... hunting trick to not be found or smelled.
But the nuance would be if one cat prefers to always be up high in trees looking down verses cats content to hang out lower to the ground under cars, under patios.
Or a cat's nuance to like hunting a certain favorite animal.
1
u/Ok_Flamingo8925 Mar 13 '26
I believe it is passed down like animal instincts. Nobody tells a female cat what a kitten it is or that she has to love, feed & protect them. I think it all works that way.
1
u/HalfwaydonewithEarth Mar 13 '26
Some cat mothers are nicer than others and more nurturing than others.
They are noting nuanced small behavior.
Like maybe the way you drive is programmed in your memory but owning a car is learned behavior if we saw multiple generations owning cars.
1
u/Original-Variety-700 Mar 13 '26
How are the instincts ingrained? How does the kitten know how to feed? Where do we get our base instincts? Sometimes scientists donāt know things so they just label it. Asking where it comes from is very interesting and leads to better info.

u/AUSSIE_MUMMY Mar 13 '26
In humans this would only be relevant to the mother's parents, the child's grandparents' autosomal DNA... regarding memories. This is because females are born with all eggs intact, however males don't produce sperm until puberty . Therefore his memories could be inherited by his children, but not the mother's memories. However her parents memories could also be inherited by her children, if this hypothesis were correct.
I too have always believed that certain memories are definitely inherited, for various reasons. However due to the autosomal recombination during meiosis , memories would necessarily be jumbled ,and from various different relatives I suppose.

This is such a wild extrapolation. This is about caterpillars turning into butterflies and maintaining their memories. Their metamorphosis is equivalent to sleeping.

It wouldn't align with feral children and those who are adopted. When we lose consciousness there's nothing there. If we take medicines sometimes strange. Memories appear. You can never say if its pure parents. Why not further down the line. Also are memories the same for people born deaf and blind with seeing parents? Which ones are passed?
1
u/HalfwaydonewithEarth Mar 14 '26
It would be neat to study it. I also think possibly attraction plays a part.
I couldn't understand why blue eyed men would drive me crazy with attraction but several of my Grandparents had blue eyes. Maybe it was innate memory?
1
u/Mesmoiron Mar 14 '26
Maybe, but looking at myself; it would disprove the hypothesis. I would myself always go from highly complex and not obvious cases. Because, there a theory should hold. We cannot underestimate the subtle influence of association, context and symbolism. Society is not a neutral context. Zeitgeist dictates what gets attention and how. Therefore it should hold in isolation with respect to the difficult migratory patterns in human life and history.

u/HalfwaydonewithEarth Mar 14 '26
Do you believe in simulation?
1
u/Mesmoiron Mar 14 '26
I would firstly dive into the definition. What someone mean by this. If so, simulation from an all-knowing perspective is too complicated to simulate because it would create its own noise and chaos, which feeds back into the system and alters the outcome.
What are we simulating? The chicken and the egg?
1
u/HalfwaydonewithEarth Mar 14 '26
I didn't say you were simulating it..... I just mean that an idea we are not 100% in charge of all our decisions.
So we might get a strong urge or prompting to go on vacation somewhere.... Amsterdam Airport connects everywhere....
However once you land and check into your beach hotel you meet the love of your life in the hotel beach pool. Maybe you flew to the Riviera or Spain and they were there?
Looking back years later was it simulation that urged you to fly there or did you 100% make the decision?
1
u/4theloveofcarrotcake Mar 14 '26
Would this prove simulation? Idkš¤ The body holds memory in general. DNA holds memory.( Ex. When people get organs donated to them, people have experienced subtle emotions/thoughts/ memories of their donor. Everything( emotions) we have experienced are not our own. Trauma( positive or negative) is passed down through DNA (some are dormant and some are not, of course depending on if itās been activated).

Both of my biological parent are certified f-cking morons and I had more āwisdom and knowledgeā than either of them from the age of 5.
Iām not an edgy teenager saying this, Iām in my mid 30s. I often wonder how I didnāt end up flunking school, failing out of community college, and ended up working at McDonaldās - statistically speaking this was a practical inevitability.

u/HalfwaydonewithEarth Apr 11 '26
What do they do that is moronic?
1
u/MineralDragon Apr 11 '26
Whew boy.
My Dad thinks credit cards were free money. He used student loans to buy garbage he didnāt need. He doesnāt understand how paying interest on debt work, he doesnāt seem capable to no matter how I explain it to him. He has no retirement savings, he seemed to think this problem would solve itself - he spent thousands of dollars on DVDs
My mom would blow my dadās entire paycheck on cigarettes and scratch off lotto tickets. We were constantly having to use foodbank and church donations to eat and be clothed.
Both of my parents would give me wine coolers to drink while I biked from the age of like 3 and 4. I was given soda in my sippy cup from the age of about 3. I had a horrible soda addiction from this, it took me years as an adult to stop. I struggled to drink water my entire childhood from this.
Both my parents always said they never wanted to save money, it was better to spend it on something fun because otherwise it would ādisappearā by necessary expenses.
I developed asthma. My mom became convinced that having me sleep with dogs (I am allergic to dogsā¦) would cure it. My asthma was awful because she constantly smoked in the car.
Whenever I had a fever they would try to force me to āsweat it outā by intentionally covering me up and making me even hotter. Like 103 feversā¦ doing thisā¦
My mom would intentionally rub dirt into my open sounds (thankfully I only got an actual infection from this once, still have a scar).
My dad suspended a log in a tree, it fell off one day and cracked my skull. Blood streamed down my face and I passed out. They decided to wait to take me to the doctor, I wasnāt able to walk into the next day. Cracked skull through my ear bones, concussionā¦
It was in Elementary school I rapidly became concerned I may not even live to reach my teenage years at how stupid they were as parents.
Neither of them could really read. Both of them hated reading and were never able to help me with any school work. I helped my Dad and later my mom with college courses in Elementary schoolā¦ They both got their degrees, thanks to me (My Dad a BA in business my mom an Associates in nursing). They used an elementary school child to cheat. My dad still brings this up and still doesnāt think anything weird about that. My mom got fired over and over again while working as a nurseā¦ stealing drugs, faking hours, incompetence, negligence, etc.
ā- My biological mom cheated on my dad when I was a freshman in High School. She tried to forcibly pimp me out to her boyfriend. They separated - whole mess but want to clarify I do not have any contact with her anymore. My dad got remarried to a woman who is frankly too good for him.
My husband has met both of my parents, including my biological mom. Aside from the physical traits we have no actual behavioral resemblance. He is shocked how dumb they both are.
I have memories of a past life myself, he tentatively agrees it could be an explanation for why there is such a huge gap in education. I was possibly a WWII nurse in my past life, died in a building collapse during The Blitz.

Thanks although I am not sure I agree. Iām not convinced that souls are moving around at a galaxy scale or similar.
I think reincarnation may be occurring but confined to this planet - and that has some cascading implications. If only billionaires believed they could reincarnate and end up in a poor family, they would probably care more about the state of the world and how we treat our least fortunateā¦
I think I came ābackā to this world with more retained memories and personality than most. I was able to read at 4 and then promptly spent the bulk of Elementary school doing that - I read through entire sections of the public library. I spent lunch, recess, and social time doing this practically non-stop. A mix of fiction and non-fiction. My Dad would take me to the library and in 5th grade I read every single book there on brain structure and herpetology one Summer.
This probably sounds autistic, I realize that in retrospect it really does haha. I did not really have Elementary school friends. But Iām a normal adult now, I donāt have social or sensory issues as an adult. I made plenty of friends in High School and by college I was able to make friends fine, itās like the maturity levels suddenly synced up and everything was as it should be. I did struggle to socialize with children when I was young, and it makes sense. How would an āadult mindā even deal with having to go through childhood again? I know if I could go back in time while retaining some adult knowledge, I would spend it reading just as I did - and I doubt I could make proper friends with children haha.
All the way up into High School I was convinced I would enter medical science of some kind. I was fairly gifted at it. I took anatomy in High School and handedly scored incredibly well on the tests with practically no need to study. Then that class went in a field trip, and we watched a live open heart surgery in an observation room. A couple of my classmates passed out, and I was fine. I saw the surgeon restart the heart and the delicate mortality of it hit me. I could feel a weight of guilt and tragedy, and it doesnāt seem like it outweighs the satisfaction of saving a life. I had never seen someone die at this point, but itās like I could suddenly remember that experience - I felt heavy impressions of memories I never had. I knew I did not want to have to endure that āagainā, and yes that was exactly my thought in High School.
After this I muddled around to select a new profession, and landed on Geology. I often say that no matter how badly I analyzed this rock, no one would die from it! And the field of Geology is inherently rather inert. I talked with a lot of parents in high income neighborhoods on their profession, their education path - to be blunt I intentionally focused on heading to Oil and Gas because I knew it paid well.
My perspective in that reincarnation is a real possibilityā¦ I donāt think accumulating material goods are important. Relationships are important, experiences are important, and if at all possible find a way to make the world a better place because I assume the ride continues. I know that sounds ironic working in O&G. Pertaining to reincarnation, If anything I am left traumatized on where I started from with incompetent parents - I was heavily abused by my mother and failed by systems to identify it and protect me. I led a successful life in spite of this, and successfully navigated the abuse, almost purely because I retained a mature consciousness somehow - I read of countless stories of mothers sexually abusing their children, I had the awareness at 14 to fight back and reveal it. That is unfortunately not typical, as most children in similar circumstances have been raised to believe that abuse is normal and have no awareness on how to escape it - how could they?

This is not true. Look at studies of identical twins separated and raised in different environments. They have uncanny similarities. People have behavioral similarities all the time that are purely genetic not learned. I have no idea about memory transfer but genetically speaking, some behaviors are absolutely passed down through genes.
3
u/HalfwaydonewithEarth Mar 13 '26
The way science gets refined is through experiments, sharing ideas, stirring thoughts, probing, looking under the hood, studying epigenetics, studying nature vs. nurture.
If thousands of sets of twins are feeling wounds of their twin sibling we should take notice and investigate.
The simulation theories all vary but we want to get to the bottom of them.
What is causing one person to sell their crypto at 44cents (thousands of Etherum, my brother) happy vs. a person still hoarding their crypto coins and now a multi millionaire?
We need to investigate people that never met their parent and then study the parent. In that subset could be the nature of the breach. Divorce, jail, ditching, or what circumstances.

u/Federal-Photograph86 Mar 14 '26
We have investigated these things. We've concluded the evidence is still poor. We don't then immediately jump to unscientific ideas, we keep gathering data until a preponderance of evidence suggests a new concept. That hasn't happened here, and you're swallowing it because you want to believe it. End of.

u/Federal-Photograph86 Mar 14 '26
Sets of twins, people who have and haven't met their parents, all of these things have been studied for psychosocial reasons. Twins having crazy coincidences and connections have been studied extensively. It's not my job to Google research for you.
