I appreciate the post and completely agree, but this place attracts all those disenfranchised by MSM and the Deep State. That ranges from people looking for logic and reason, to people who are literally accidentally correct, to people who believe everything they read, to people who "notice" patterns even when they're not there.
Once again, thanks for the post, we need to talk about this topic a lot more as it is a problem. Just like the court of law, we need real evidence and reasons to believe things and act on those beliefs. A lot of people here don't respect that, and just want to conjecture and engage in apophenia for fun.
What is it called when a person is unable to recognize simple and meaningful patterns between seemingly unrelated or random things? This is a serious question.
How do you determine which things happen by random chance and how many are part of a pattern? If you pull back far enough, everything is in a pattern and there are zero coincidences. It's a fractal universe. If it looks random it's because you can't see the whole frame.
On the other hand "how many times until mathematically impossible?"
17 times?
This is how the "magic" of fake psychic's, and palm readers works.
And conversely?
