Haha I was going to add "for Chesterton" to my post but I knew youd find your way to it somehow.

Haha I was going to add "for Chesterton" to my post but I knew youd find your way to it somehow.I agree with you. I blame Rush.
I dont see what that proverb has to do with synchronicity.
Agreed. But that doesnt mean its not real.Well... synchonicity is nonsense.
It's a real Police album.Agreed. But that doesnt mean its not real.
I'm much more woke than you. When it comes to up and down, I'm non-binary. A plane can land upside down if it chooses to.But of course planes shouldn't land upside down in the first place.
Planes don't have free will. Do any of us? (Let's do all of the CF fights at once!)I'm much more woke than you. When it comes to up and down, I'm non-binary. A plane can land upside down if it chooses to.
That one isnt nonsense tho imo.It's a real Police album.
If you dont mind killing lots of people then sure, we can have planes land any which way.I'm much more woke than you. When it comes to up and down, I'm non-binary. A plane can land upside down if it chooses to.
Ideology first. Think of the ideology, don't think of the potential damage.If you dont mind killing lots of people then sure, we can have planes land any which way.
I'm not the inventor but it seems that the prime example right now is that every airplane crash that happens from now on is automatically Trump's fault. Metal fatigue or pilot error or whatever have become irrelevant.Whats an example of how this could work?
It’s real form has another name, conformation bias.Agreed. But that doesnt mean its not real.
... in the mind of synchronicisists.Agreed. But that doesnt mean its not real.
But thats not nonsense. Its completely rationally explicable. So its not the same thing Hans and I agreed is nonsense.It’s real form has another name, conformation bias.
How about 'confirmation' bias? Not to be too conforming.But thats not nonsense. Its completely rationally explicable. So its not the same thing Hans and I agreed is nonsense.
It’s renaming flaws in thinking, finding patterns or meaning where they are absent, as some supernatural reality.But thats not nonsense. It’s completely rationally explicable. So it’s not the same thing Hans and I agreed is nonsense.
I allowed for that.How about 'confirmation' bias? Not to be too conforming.
For sure I think that happens - a lot.It’s renaming flaws in thinking, finding patterns or meaning where they are absent, as some supernatural reality.
Of course it happens. Look at convergent evolution. Where flowers develop with colors over and over, unrelated... Everything you see in this world has happened at least twice, independently... *Everything*....For sure I think that happens - a lot.
But I'm talking about a-causal patterns of meaning that could actually happen and inhere in the world "out there". Those would be "nonsense" in that they are not rationally explicable. I think these are possible in that I dont believe every real thing is within the power of the human mind to grasp. Ungraspable things would be "nonsense" to us even if they are real.
I'm definitely wary of the tendency for humans to take this idea and run with it whenever it pleases them - especially when rational inquiry produces results they don't like. Then theyre just doing reality avoidance. This happens all the time and we can see it here at CF in abundanceFor sure I think that happens - a lot.

There's almost certainly rational explanations for why that^ happens. Leaping first to a-causal or other unknowable "explanations" is really lazy - and almost certainly wrong, given what we do know.Of course it happens. Look at convergent evolution.

There are clearly invisible forces. Repeating, over and over.
