Realization of something very close to a supernatural force but scientific

after finding patterns in lottery numbers and thinking about if random truly exists, i also flipped a coin for awhile.

i was counted how many times i would get heads and tails and if they would equal out in the end.

if heads slowly was getting ahead too much, i would suddenly get a bunch of tails in a row to almost equal it out.

Unless you have evidence of multiple lottery wins then you're just spouting nonsense.

I have pulled winning lottery numbers, found certain patterns, tested them against winning numbers, and going to do it for real now. But if another person using similar concepts who has won several times counts....(quite a few if you google multiple lottery winners)

First one here had a phd in statistics

https://80sradio.iheart.com/featured/christie-james/content/2017-05-11-this-man-won-the-lottery-14-times-heres-his-secret/ this shows a many who won 14 times and another who won 7 times. (7 time video he is speaking similar to what I am saying, how odds increase when other numbers not used for a time)

And I looked it up, there are people who have won the lottery multiple times. And it seems they used very similar concepts and how odds do increase on these things. But I would not ever go past 'play money' too high of a risk. Investment and business is still the surest way to make money.

Utter nonsense.
If you have 50 lottery balls, and you have held 1000 lotteries, but number 22 has only been drawn twice, the chances of it being drawn next time is still exactly the same as that of a number that has previously been drawn 200 times.
If I spin ten heads in a row the chance of the next throw being a tail is still 50:50

That goes against probability theory and the law of large numbers. The law of large numbers would dictate that if you held 1000 lotteries, that the more lotteries that are held, the more the numbers will average out to an equilibrium. Which means 1000x5=5000/50=average of 100 drawings per number. If number 22 only had been pulled twice, well it just wouldn't.

But I'm going to do some lottery experiments, if I am correct, I'll post pictures. Too many numbers to use patterns and probability to definitely get the entire thing without luck, but to narrow down to a pool of numbers definitely.

that's not how casinos work. Sometimes people do win. Even if every gambler left while they were ahead, the casino would still be fine because on average there would be enough people that lost from the get-go and never make it up to balance out those that eventually end up ahead.
If you're really interested in this, take a couple statistics classes and you'll quickly understand why you're wrong.

Yes I took statistic classes as required for my degree. And the casino is ahead because as you said the average of everybody (all the factors) and over time guarantees that they end up ahead. It will not ever happen that everybody suddenly wins.

And I've found several stories of multiple time lottery winners who figured out and used these laws to their advantage. But take this to beyond lottery numbers.

Terror attacks, crime, natural disasters, getting laid, almost anything that can be measured and counted. The trick is finding all of the possible variables that are in play (with lottery numbers you know them all, each number) but use that logic to replace those numbers with events and the frequency and the greater the # of drawings, the more accurate it can get.

oneeyedjoe - It's more the 'the house' policy. Even if a gambler starts to win, if they keep them playing, it's that law that guarantees they will lose and the house will win.

After finding patterns in lottery numbers and thinking about if random truly exists, I also flipped a coin for awhile. I was counted how many times I would get heads and tails and if they would equal out in the end. If heads slowly was getting ahead too much, I would suddenly get a bunch of tails in a row to almost equal it out. On lottery numbers, I would track and use several calculations to determine numbers that should pop up next, and many times they would. I started to wonder if there was a force that the longer a type of event or tracking was happening and monitored, that outcomes that are supposed to be random could be predicted or odds increased. If pulling 1 number of 70 in a lottery is 1/70, but certain ones are due to pop up, is it truly still a 1/70 chance or much higher chance?

But others beat me to it. What I am referring to is a combination of the "law of large numbers" and the "central limit theorem". Related to this, Sir Francis Galton said, "I know of scarcely anything so apt to impress the imagination as the wonderful form of cosmic order expressed by the "Law of Frequency of Error". The law would have been personified by the Greeks and deified, if they had known of it. It reigns with serenity and in complete self-effacement, amidst the wildest confusion. The huger the mob, and the greater the apparent anarchy, the more perfect is its sway. It is the supreme law of Unreason. Whenever a large sample of chaotic elements are taken in hand and marshalled in the order of their magnitude, an unsuspected and most beautiful form of regularity proves to have been latent all along."

It is probably hard to comprehend, and very hard to explain, but essentially the more in which something (an event) can be counted, such as lottery drawings, or life/world events, as soon as an accurate "odds of happening" out of all other variables are factored in, then able to determine when something is due and then it will happen. When you are able to test it yourself and see it happening, it's a mindfuck on reality. Almost like the monitoring photon experiment.

Explain why you are happy if you believe there is no afterlife vs when you joined JW's

by Bad_Wolf in

one thing that has intrigued me are so many who have left, who are wholly convinced everything in existence is merely by chance now, also claim they wouldn't want to live forever, and perfectly fine if this is the only life.

now, i would understand that if you were raised into the religion.

i was raised into it.

Bad_Wolf

I just recall even if scientifically humans develop a way to not die within our lifetime, I recall people saying they wouldn't want to live forever anyway.

I don't believe in the JW or that any religion has the answers. It's not completely out of my mind that the mysteries we do not understand could in turn equate to another life beyond this. But I am living life as if this is it and for the most part assuming that too.

Lucid dreams and virtual reality

by Bad_Wolf in

long ago when i learned about lucid dreams i was fascinated by them and sought to try to induce them.

over the years i've had quite a few.

i can't definitely force one to happen on any particular night.

Bad_Wolf

Sometimes the people who I "summoned" would connect with me in real life, saying that they had been thinking about me. It's a mysterious universe.

That reminded me of some weird things that happen on occasion when I dream. These were general dreams, I did not become lucid in them, but along those lines...

Dream : A girl who I did not know and never met, but friends of friends added me on facebook. I had a dream that she was crazy about me, had a big crush, etc. A few days later meet her among a group of friends, and she is all over me.

Another: Have a dream about an ex getting back with me, hadn't spoken or anything in a year, then next day she is trying to add me on social media.

Another: Had a dream a girl I had known for years, but we were only ever platonic, were romantically involved. (I was still a jw at the time). See her a day or so later, and she is suddenly for the first time ever very flirtacious and inviting me to hang out with her.

Those types of dreams puzzle me, especially since I had nothing prior to those dreams to even hint at me of anything. It's not like i had an interaction and subconsciously was picking up signals first.

Liberal vs. Democrat in the U.S.A.

it seems that many believe that a liberal in the usa must be a democrat, pretty much following the party core teachings and some even think it means approving the party history of, during the 19th century, supporting or tolerated slavery and opposing civil rights reforms after the civil war.

some even insist that a liberal loves anything and everything obama did..

balderdash!!.

Almost how many liberals and democrats claim that if somebody is a republican/conservative then they are nazis because nazi groups voted trump. Or that if voting Trump, then you think he is a great person and agree with EVERYTHING he has said and done. Or Republicans/voters are racist? Also during the elections and after, I can't tell you how many social media friends I saw posting "if you voted Trump delete me", etc.

I agree with your post, there can be many reasons someone votes one way, or just based on a few issues that were more important to them.

And to the person who said it's dumb to belong to a politcal party if don't agree with everything about it. That's a good way to get nothing accomplished. If everybody in a political party wanted a change, then the party would make the change. More Republicans are starting to support legalization of pot. If all were opposed they would not, but if they see a big mindset change among them on that, then it changes.

Now, I would understand that if you were raised into the religion. I was raised into it. My question is for those who chose to join the religion. If you joined, you would have believed that you can leave the religion and be eternally destroyed when armageddon came. The reality you are embracing now is the worst case scenario of when you were in it, eternal death. But if you joined it of your own accord and not raised in it, why did you want eternal life then and now say you would never want it?
