I just had the weirdest streak of coincidences happen. I used to be a big SCP fan. I got a call from a customer at work, and their phone number ended in 682, so I thought about SCP-682. It turns out their last name is Bright… OK, so second SCP reference. The very next account I end up running into the word Keter…

I also had YouTube recommend a video on an extremely obscure topic I was thinking about. I have not searched for anything related to this, or even spoke about it out loud.

Am I just going crazy?

      Odds of those three things showing up that way at work are very slim. And the video YouTube suggested is defiantly not something they would just recommend to the general public at random.

    No. You can sense future events to come, usually near future and when it happens it is surprisingly vivid and accurate. We have very complex brains, capable of precognition. Essentially, in the same way your visual cortex calculates a yellow color probability ( we don’t SEE yellow, we calculate it) on an object, it is also capable calculating probability of events, even when those are very specific. This skill enhances when we socialize with people who also can do this, because we start mimic each other ( they still don’t know HOW we do this) like a flock of pigeons, and with time because of neuro-plasticity our brain accepts those patterns as its own. You are not going crazy. But, check if your recent social environment changed and includes a person or people who can do the same, in case you did not experience anything similar before. It can also be a result of lifestyle change or maturing of a neural cortex ( some things like this irational chaos prediction skill come later in life).

      It wasn’t really like precognition. It was more like too many references to the same thing in a 15 minute period. The YouTube video was about something I had been thinking about for a while.

    One time I was going through a break up. And even though he said he wasn’t seeing anyone else. It flashed thru my head that he was lying and I knew who it was. Ended up being true and ppl were asking how the fuck I knew when they didn’t tell anyone
