Trying to figure out why there’s so much in common between Jung’s concept of synchronicity, and acausal trade (in fact, jung seems to have coined the term acausal). Is it:
1) Scott Alexander (known to be a psychologist), or someone, drawing on the language of the paranormal, to accentuate the weird parts of acausal trade/LDT decisionmaking, which is useful to accentuate if you’re trying to communicate the novelty (though troublesome if you’re looking for mundane examples of acausal trade in human social behavior, which we’re pretty sure exist, given how much people talk about having faith in people, and how much emphasis is placed on knowing peoples’ character).
2) A coincidence
3) A synchronicity
4) Jung was actually partly trying to study LDT principles and just happened to have been fooled by some statistical magic tricks into believing in paranormal serendipity as well, and now people have convinced themselves that it was all about the paranormal shit, because 🎵 the discourse only keeps the parts it hates 🎵
