A video essay on what coincidence really is — the mathematics and psychology behind the feeling that something is more than chance.
Numen's video essay The Truth About Coincidences is a concise modern treatment of what coincidence actually is: the mathematics and psychology behind the feeling that something is more than chance.
The video takes the experience seriously — it does not begin by sneering — and then lands, honestly, on the skeptical side: the feeling of meaning is real, the events are ordinary. As a visual complement to the books on this shelf, it is a good way to meet the argument in a form built for a modern audience.
The meaning
It takes the experience seriously and gives it a fair hearing before drawing conclusions.
The skeptic
