RE: Friday the 13th, and Other Scary Thoughts...

Friday the 13th, Mercury is probably in retrograde, black cats have crossed my path recently... All of it has no demonstrable effect on our fortunes, but people tend to look for confirmation bias when they believe in such things.

Sort:  

It may not affect us colletively, but it tends to affect people individually because they end up using that confirmation bias to attract what they are seeking.

As Henry Ford once said "Whether you believe you'll succeed or fail, chances are you will."

Well, my library mug got broken today, so clearly I have to lean into triskaidekaphobia for an explanation now!
