What is Patternicity?

- Опубліковано 29 сер 2024
- "Patternicity" is a term often credited to author Michael Shermer, to describe the human tendency to find meaningful patterns in random data or meaningless data. He uses it almost exclusively as a pejorative (meaning in the negative) in terms of encapsulating why people have been said to see faces in clouds, hear hidden messages in music played backward, or be overly sympathetic to supernatural phenomena. We however, would say it should also apply to meaningful data because the concept can also be supportive in terms of the human brain's evolved ability to recognize valid patterns, a skill crucial for survival.

sound is consciousness
Hey cool channel!
When you say our ancestors were both more and less advanced than us, what did you mean?
I'm curious what people feel we have lost. I guess I think about this from the perspective of dominating more primitive cultures in more recent history and what we both gain and lost from that.
Hey there, thanks. Because of the precessional cycle of the Earth, which is said to be 25,000 some years in length, that has had a correlation on human consciousness. Where, for half of the cycle, for 12,000 some years, we go down in consciousness (de-evolve into dark age idiocy), then for 12,000 some years we increase in consciousness and evolve into more advanced civilizations which have built mega structures that have such perfection and astrological precision that we could not build them as well today - such as the pyramids. We say humans are millions of years old and time could be thought of like a wave, instead of linear.
