Just for posterity, I'm not arguing against reproducibility or the scientific method. I'm just saying that there's an upper bound on how deterministic something can be, and that science largely fails to explain how stochastic systems like brains and economies work, so our shared reality is a fantasy. This article popped up in my Facebook feed and explains it better:
Excuse me, I should have said that I was responding to your recording of synchronicities, not those other things.
You seem to decide what to notice in an ad-hoc way which means you'll be heavily influenced by what you want to notice. If you had made a hypothesis after wearing a bowtie, that you would see a bowtie wearing person on TV when coming home, then you would also have noticed the times when there was no synchronicity and could isolate your personal sensitivity to it from its actual occurrence. As it is, I don't think you can make any conclusions about nature from that record and the 5-day cycle might be nothing more than your fluctuating interest in finding them.

No amount of science can predict when an atom will decay. Just like no amount of capitalism can guarantee that everyone is safe and has a full belly.
