To save oneself trouble.” In response to controversies over cultural appropriation and the use of an indigenous term, Filipino television network ABS-CBN used a special disclaimer in the 2018 fantaserye Bagani, maintaining that the series takes place in an alternate fantasy universe inspired by, but unrelated to, pre-colonial Philippines and is in no way intended to trivialize or misrepresent tribal groups: "Ang kuwentong inyong mapapanood ay kathang-isip lamang at kumuha ng inspirasyon mula sa iba’t ibang alamat at mitolohiyang Pilipino.

The familiar disclaimer is often rewritten for humor. Early examples include The Three Stooges' parody of Nazi Germany You Nazty Spy, which stated that "Any resemblance between the characters in this picture and any persons, living or dead, is a miracle," [5] and its sequel I'll Never Heil Again, which features a disclaimer that states that "The characters in this picture are fictitious. Anyone resembling them is better off dead." [5] Other examples include: I experience strong emotions or physical sensations that were simultaneously experienced at a distance by someone I love [2.85]; and It is really a hard life. Men will not be nice to you if you are not good-looking, and women will not be nice to you if you are.” The 1941 film Hellzapoppin' displays a comic variant of the disclaimer during the opening titles: "...any similarity between HELLZAPOPPIN' and a motion picture is purely coincidental."Oddly, the belief that the world is on the edge of a revival of goddess-worship has been expressed by some eminent scholars, including historian Arnold Toynbee, psychologist Carl Jung, poet Robert Graves and anthropologist Joseph Campbell.

Sounds remarkably like the Urizenic hemispheral disconnect denoted by John Higgs in his book Blake vs The World which I've just finished reading. All of my reading is synchronised by this point. A wonderful, highly readable account of meaningful coincidences. The author--a psychiatrist, researcher, podcast host, and more--has devoted considerable talent, time, and resources to legitimizing the study of coincidences.

Imagination is a good servant, and a bad master. The simplest explanation is always the most likely.” The Marat/Sade essay is viciously good. I didn't understand large swathes of it, unfortunately (unacquainted with the subject matter), but have had my interest piqued quite a bit.

Only to return to the text and find similar incidents of people experiencing coincidence midway through reading the same anecdote. Uncanny. Another variable in coincidences is similarity: the two or more events making up a coincidence must be similar. In the Allen Falby example, both events involve a tourniquet on the leg saving the life of a man bleeding to death. That in itself is not a coincidence, but the fact the two men happen to save each other’s lives years apart without knowing or being involved with one another--and each showing up at the right place and time to save the other person’s life--is what makes it a coincidence. I know there's a proverb which that says 'To err is human,' but a human error is nothing to what a computer can do if it tries.” He says it’s synchronicities, indicators of an invisible network that connects everyone and everything. Beitman suspects humans transmit some unobserved energetic information, which other people then process or organize into emotion and behavior.
