it's incredibly interesting. but like gravity i doubt there will ever be an understanding of why/how/what it is. and it doesnt help anything in anyway (unless you give it meaning of course. it could be comforting like God letting you know He is...

If non-human technology (or non-human intelligence) is a sort of inclusive term that allows UFOs and UFOnauts to be not human and not extraterrestrials in the conventional sense (e.g. biological creatures from a planet a certain number of light...

A high level of symbolic overlap between the event and frame of reference and experiences of a person, within a given time frame. The events giving rise to the observed phenomenon and the observer's frame of reference will overlap occasionally...

What's the theoretical model to distinguish "synchronicity" and coincidence? A scientific approach would need to propose that to generate hypotheses to test.

Yes that's how I read it, at least. But that's a common result of short comments - unless we write entire essays (which I certainly won't be doing lol), misunderstandings are just gonna happen. I'm sorry you were so stressed out at that time...

I have come to the conclusion that all synchronic events involving technology "with ears"[1] do not count. ;) [1] With ears meaning anything electronic, you can interact with that is connected to the Internet.

does it read that way? it was more like 10 or 20 a day. As much as i wanted. (i was super stressed out at the time working with neglected kids..so my brain was in hyperalert mode as i mentioned earlier). i literally just said the same thing...

For me personally, the case was closed the moment that these images appeared. Though obviously, the discussion still went on afterwards, touching on a few aspects that were more or less relevant to the overall process. Please forgive me if I...

Interesting ideas, especially the part about the subconscious mind prompting us to notice patterns consciously for some reason. But just to clarify again, the woo version of synchronicity posits that pattern recognition or even the existence of...

I have no idea what you're talking about at all. But whether one talks about coincidences, synchronicity, or patterns, they are all things that only exist because an observer notices them. We don't call it a coincidence if we see the sun rise...

Patternicity "Patternicity is the human tendency to perceive meaningful patterns, connections, or intentionality within random, chaotic, or meaningless data. Coined by Michael Shermer, it is an evolutionarily driven cognitive bias—often termed a...
