Should I feel like killing you for saying that? I don't. What's wrong with me? Some people have been asking that for years. In my philosophy why would I even care if some else believed this? I think that each of us can scan our lives for Jungian "meaningful coincidences". Whether they choose to do so or not, is another matter. This is a different phenomenon (IMO) that saying that it rains on Tuesday because when it rains on Tuesday I remember it. When I start thinking about buying a new car, it tends to happen. The process by which that happens tends to not be reinforced by highly improbable correlated single or multipoint occurrences of other related or symmetrical events. The phenomenon I'm talking about is when something happens that seems to fit into a larger cognitive pattern in compelling way. That is what I call "meaningful coincidence". It necessarily must be viewed retrospectively and it appears to be a logical or philosophical capstone of some kind. It also, at times, seems to have a playful or tutorial element of irony to it. Is that all me?? I don't know.
