failed attempt to capture the living interwoven semantic thread which reveals itself unexpectedly as coincidences, repetition, or what is known as baader meinhof
began chain upon seeing this post:
ultimately fruitless.
can serendipity be mechanically reproduced, captured alive?
[i believe that] when one becomes hyperfocused on their search for serendipity, they fail to find it.
It tends to manifest itself in the unexpected, in the normally-ignored/overlooked.
Digging through trash for treasure is different than treasure presenting itself to you from within the trash. If you find treasure in the trash once, you may begin frantically searching the trash for more. The problem then is the trash is no longer trash, it is, to you, potential treasure. Scrutiny and analysis remove the darkness from which surprises manifest themselves
So. How then does one maximize (pleasant) surprises, if they cannot seek them? I believe the answer is to make exposure to chaos/disorganized information a habitual activity. In that way, opportunity/luck/surprise can manifest as you'll be continually exposed to new but not necessarily seeking
In my experience, the most meaningfully powerful surprises occur when you are hyperfocused on one thing (laser) then >boom< your attention is hijacked by stimuli and your brain instantly absorbs it with full emotional umphh, which would be absent if you'd have seen the surprise object approach from a distance.
It's like our brain prefilters everything as mundane,boring, uninteresting UNLESS it is presented to us with an element of fear or excitement that captures our attention against our will.
