something sentient you mean? Most people do find comfort in the idea of "something else", a "higher power". i mean the idea that we are born to trudge through life and laugh a bit and cry a bit and hate a bit and love a bit.. and have to style...

I think those writing about synchronicity see it as related but distinct from coincidence. Like coincidence +, in that for it to be a synchronicity it must have an emotional resonance where it feels like the external world is communicating with a...

Yes, every statistical model does that. Linear regression, especially with an interaction term, does that. ML/AI are used precisely because they can pick up 1000 5 level interactions in an hour, and those models are built in such a way as to...

I have received some new information. Despite what MNRAS 2022 says about Infrared catalogs, they were not used to perform optical dataset reductions. This applies also to PASP 2025 (Villarroel et. al). This alone impacts my pipeline quite...

Seeing the photo Andreas posted above, I was struck by how the original photo (as original as we have, anyway)shows a minor indistinct blob on the right "end" of the UFO, while the recreation hints at distinct fins there. This well-defined fin...

I'd expect synchronicity to be defined as "you'll know it when you see it". Basically, the same way UFOs are identified. ;)

Just speaking for me, I'd be open to the idea that the subconscious mind sometimes prompts us to notice interesting coincidental stuff that will lead us to consciously realize something of which we ought to be more aware. Which is in line with...

The readings do not seem to have been higher at each of the three indentations/ scrapings than at other places. They were reportedly higher near the middle of the (notional) triangle made by the three markings, and on a nearby tree; the one...

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...

It's not woo. certainly some people can make it into woo (like my preference to decide sometimes that its god or grandpa saying hi), but it itself isn't manifested or anything. there isnt anything supernatural about it happening. It's more just...

That's purely an opinion of yours. I find the notion of a capricious deity that can break the physical laws of nature at will to be a singularly repellent one. And many people may "believe" in it without actually finding any comfort; after all...
