Fractals — A Better Way to Explain Synchronicity? - Psychology Today

Synchronicity is trippy, but Bernard Beitman's take on the phenomenon is mind-blowing. Turns out history does repeat itself, suggesting at a deeper structure to reality and phenomenology running counter to the concept of a chaotic and meaningless universe. And if the universe isn't random and chaotic, then folks have agency in their lives above and beyond exerting their will and muscles. In fact Mike Grosso argues how Changing Your Vocabulary Changes Your Reality. Yet the topic at hand isn't as much, "In the beginning was the Word" but swapping out the concept of god for something more common and profound. For more on the fungibility of reality, one's world finds a foundation in memory and memory is so very fallible. How much so? Experience Lisa Genova's inquiry into The Science Of Misremembering and how, despite our better angels, what we recall often stands out in stark contrast with what actually happened. To the pathological point that experiencers, et al., will insist something truly happened. Could this phenomenon of self-gaslighting be cultural rather than endemic to H. sapiens and those entities passing as H. sapiens? Quite possibly as Sharon Hewitt-Rawlette fires a few shots with the thorny question, "Are Paranormal Beliefs A Result Of Lazy Thinking?" A new study comparing Japanese and American societies does propose some provocative conclusions. (CS)
