mkg335: Automaticity frees the mind/brain for deeper pursuits, and the fact that it fell out of favor in education during the latter part of the 20th century did a great disservice to kids in school during those years...still does as far as I know, I've been out of the game for a while.
So my question is there such a thing as coincidence? To quote Tim Lott,, "free will and fate are both illusions".......is everything predetermined?
I am beginning to think so......this morning I woke up, and mowed my lawn......and as my neighbor is away, thought I would cut his too....his name is Dave.
Then I thought I would cut some branches off a palm tree off using my chain saw....but the fookin thing would not start.....a guy from 2 doors down probably heard me ranting at the chain saw.....cam over and started it pretty much straight away.......his name is Mark....I kid you not.
Coincidence or predetermined.....or just creepy? Possibly the latter when Marks wit was about starting something!
So call it what you want....but I thank both Dave and Mark for your generosity......cheers guys.
