i have been thinking a lot about coincidence recently. specifically, the fact that it’s not really a thing. if you zoom out far enough, everything is adjacent. and i mean everything. all thoughts, all physical things. it’s all one big web. some connections are more tenuously held together than others, but they are still there. it’s like how on a cosmic scale, matter is one big thing. so anyway. i think what i’m trying to say is that i think we underestimate the power of our own thoughts and the things we create, because we see them as separate from everything else. but they’re not. they’re part of the same fabric as everything else. and that’s why i think ideas spread the way they do. it’s not random. it’s that we subconsciously recognize the adjacent connections between them and us, even if we don’t have the language or understanding to describe or map them. food for thought
