Quite a Coincidence
-
I came across an article today re/ mad cow disease. An hour or so later I was learning of the origins of QR Codes via Veritasium. Several minutes into the video it is stated mad cow disease is part of its history. Quite a coincidence. Even further I also read today an article re/ Rudy Giuliani. Quite a coincidence.

Are you implying that Rudy Giuliani is a mad cow? Because if you are you should remember that he was also a lawyer ... and probably still knows quite a few ... :-D

A bull maybe, considering the amount of BS he was dishing out. ;P

At dinner on Friday night, Snoop Dogg's name was mentioned, then Willie Nelson, then Kris Kristofferson as an outlaw. I hadn't heard that name in years. :suss:

It's call "synchronicity" and is actually a psychological effect. In normal life, you probably encounter hundreds or thousands of random references to topics in a single day. Simply by being random, there are going to be occasions when the same topic comes up twice, or more, in close proximity. Because you read the article of mad cow disease, your subconscious was primed to notice the reference in the Veritasium video and flagged your conscious mind that it might be unusual. On another day, when you hadn't read an earlier article, you might not even have really noticed it.

For some reason, the mental image that came to mind when I read this caused me to wonder why anyone would think of mad cow disease while trying to catch a wave! :)
