COINCIDENCES

 A

Here’s a bullet-point gist of Paul Broks’ piece “Are coincidences real?”:

  • Coincidences feel meaningful, but are usually the result of probability and chance.

  • Humans are pattern-seeking animals; we naturally look for connections in random events.

  • Even rationalists can feel wonder at coincidences—they evoke curiosity and awe.

  • Coincidences highlight the strange, surprising side of life, even if they aren’t supernatural.

  • Appreciating coincidences can enrich experience without abandoning rational thinking.

If you want, I can also make an ultra-short 1-line TL;DR version that captures the essence. Do you want me to do that?
