If you look for a pattern you will always find it. It’s confirmation bias, you ignore all of the non-answers just to confirm the answers.

[@MikaeruDaiTenshi]

Patterns and connections is what moves science and society forward.

[@RoyalBlueJay]

@@MikaeruDaiTenshi yes, repeatable patterns without confirmation bias. Say you take a random set of A B and C and the majority follows pattern A than A is notable. but you could take the same set and ignore those that don’t confirm B (ignore A) then you could say B is true. This is a dumbed down version of confirmation bias, it’s not necessarily ignoring factors intentionally, but more so only acknowledging what you’re looking for. It’s biased statistics.

[@admiralvirhz]

If you look for specific answers you will find them at some point. That’s like starting to writing a book from the end of it and after writing last page (where the story actually chronologically starts) you just stand and say “I knew it all along they will meet each other at the beginning!”. No shit you knew. You wrote the story from the end to beginning looking for that one answer you wanted to have. There was no other choice to find this answer at some point.

@@poppytaylor-digance6712 In the modern psychology books, they say it is, but it in older books they separated the two, meaning they are different.

I think one of the craziest moments in recent history that resembles this was the world series in 2016. It had been 108 years since the Cubs won their last World Series, there are 108 double stiches on regulation baseballs, the distance from left field corner of Wrigley Field to home plate in meters is 108, the movie Taking Care of Business (1990) about a prisoner that escapes to go see the World Series and watch the Cubs win is 108 minutes long, the movie Back to the Future Part II (1989) that shows the Cubs winning the world series on a 3-D billboard is also 108 minutes long, and many other WEIRD occurrences with the Cubs and 108.

Love this one. My friend David and I really enjoyed this movie and jokingly formed a bond with the number 23 ourselves in high school. A few times it did legitimately get pretty bizarre and coincidental. We reconnected ten years later and were eating burgers in my car laughing about how silly we were and how 23 was just a number. The second that conversation fell silent, a school bus parked right in front of us and the loud sound of its brakes releasing made both of us look up to see it’s identifying number: 23

Movie is called "2 more years with dicaprio" for anyone wondering

[@Konspirantas]

Its actually a very cool mental patterning cycle. It does drive some people insane though 😅. The neural pattern "to make sense" gets locked in for a specific consept. It san be a specific sound derived from background noise, it can be a particular result that gets reaffirmed throughout nonrelated confirmations, it can be a number, any number. The problem is that the brain starts locking it in, resulting in a delusional paranoid state. Most commonly it is not concerning to mental health and all people have some of these false pattern recognition quirks. It becomes a problem when it becomes related to fear and or impactful deductions. To make things worse, the brain locks the pattern in much more readily in these cases, resulting in mental damage and eventually - psychosis. Dismissal of these engrained pathways is very important. Don't get your bains scrambled. Eat carb rich food, sleep, do activities, take on real world mental tasks.

[@UndertakerJr]

[@CommanderCodyChipless]

People don't understand that this movie isn't about patterns adding up and meaning something. Since this movie is old, I'm gonna spoil. The idea of the movie is about a man who saw something so horrific when he was young that he ended up suppressing it. He runs into a book called The Number 23 and it tells a story that is very similar to the one he suppressed in his mind. Which essentially wakes up these dormant memories. Then he starts seeing the number 23 everywhere, as of the book is trying to tell him something. It turns out that he was the one who wrote the book. In sort of a momento/fight club kind of twist, he realizes he's the one that did these horrible things described in the book. He's the villain.

[@bloboblobo]

Still spooky af, that many things shouldn't have a possible pattern towards a common number. Just think about it for a second, 23 or 32 have 5 just an step ahead so it's kind of easier to go for a smaller number since you end on it eventually, but most of these cases were 0 one or two step logic being two step logic reversing 32. Try it yourselfs there's a very low chance that you end with that many examples of a number related to pivotal moments in your life or on your current environment. He has a problem because it IS weird af

[@BrettLucas-k8b]

I dont think it's OCD or anything. Humans desperately require answers. We will go so far as making up superstitions when we don't have answers to a problem. We are one of the most curious creatures on this planet because we learn as we age. Sure, we are born with some intuition on how to function, but we are taught most of what we know. You learn language, walking, social cues, history (family/world), art, cooking, math, driving, religion, political ideologies, etc, from watching others. We hand down knowledge to our offspring so they have an easier time with the challenges of their lives. In a more practical sense, we are taught trades and given the most up to date information on how to excel in those trades. Our whole life is to understand, practice, and pass on the knowledge for posterity. It's like we are encoded with curiosity at a young age. So, of course, arithmetic and numbers can make you go a little crazy. It's easy to make assumptions or jump to wild conclusions about the data we are presented with because our brain NEEDS an answer. And when we can't find an answer, we resort to making one up with the best available knowledge to us (superstition, paranoia, delusion).
