Coincidence

1/4 Yesterday morning, I was thinking about persons I’ve known who I have not seen or heard from for 40+ years. I searched for some of them on the internet. Google AI mis-informed me that a few of them had undergone major career changes: One had gone from a degree and career in forestry into medical school and become a physician; another had become a freelance journalist in South Africa after I knew him as a forester and firefighter. But, in reality, neither of those career changes was true. Google AI had seamlessly combined the search results for different persons who just coincidentally shared the same names. Google AI also claimed that I worked professionally in Tokyo, though I have no recollection of ever being in Japan.

Dear Friends of the #Flip, :black_block_blob:
As we may #know, just when we have it all #figured out and #convinced it is true… :ablobblastoff:
What we know, what we #think, what is #useful everything can flip #around to its #opposite: :anonymous:
For #example I no longer believe in #Santa Clause. I know longer believe in #coincidence. I know people are #capable. The Tooth #fairy is a capitalist. :ablobrollingeyes:

In this #sense #wisdom is #where we #find it, not where we are looking, #seeking #confirmation #bias etc. :ablobsplosion:

#Time to #reevaluate? :netkitty:

I like it when two unrelated entries in a timeline or stream appear to do have some kind of connexion / are reacting to each other. ;)
