When You Say "Coincidence," What Do You Choose it To Mean? - Psychology Today

Who would have thought a psych article could change the way you perceive events throughout your day? This piece does just that, explaining in detail the origins and meanings of words we typically use to describe the weirdness in our lives. Be warned: You can't unlearn this stuff. (And language is cool.) Next, we examine how the Western influence is stamping out the unique qualities of other cultures. What happens to cognitive diversity when everyone is more WEIRD? discusses the impact of our limited language and our reliance on technology on lesser known populations that were once seen as very different from the norm. We finish this trio up with some wise words from Hayley Stevens, You Have Not Reached Your DestinationĂ¢€¦ is a reminder that while skepticism is part of the foundation for any good fortean, it is not the end game. Non-belief must be followed with action, learning, and new conclusions. But sitting on our hands as if there is nothing more to do is never an option. (CM)
