GESTALT

Human Beings are pattern seeking animals.

For thousands of years, our survival depended on being able to spot patterns in nature to find predators hiding in the wild.

And so now, centuries later, we are still looking, still searching every cloud for faces, as if our lives depend on it.

So strong is our belief that a pattern must exist that the human mind will project the pieces that don't fit.

So, where The Pessimist sees danger hiding behind every back, The Optimist sees Friendship.

Which is why, when we encounter coincidence, we often see Conspiracy.
