Understanding the Emotions and Meanings of Coincidences, with Alessandra Melas
From the depths of the Mediterranean Sea comes philosopher Alessandra Melas with an exuberant riff on the fundamental elements of coincidences.
What is real? How does your mind operate on the two independent event lines intersecting? What emotions are evoked in you? How is the coincidence relevant to you? What meanings do you extract? Join us in this delightful interchange!
