Personally, I find a high degree of "patternicity" in Obama's actions and I don't think I'm making a type I error there. He is a dangerous predator and not just a rustle in the grass.
By himself he’s nothing. It’s all the whackjobs backing him that are making him dangerous.
Souls, spirits, ghosts, gods, demons, angels, aliens, intelligent designers, government conspirators, and all manner of invisible agents with power and intention are believed to haunt our world and control our lives. Why?
My supersense smells nonsense.
Three words: Bilderburgers!
And Shermer will PROVE that these illogical agents don’t exist using...
Could not agree more.
Will check it out more after a shower.
Thx.
“Why People Believe Invisible Agents Control the World”

Well, maybe because the Bible says so... :-)
Invisible agents, my @ss! The evil b@st@rd is on tv every damn day. MAKE HIM GO AWAY!! UGH
Ephesians 6:12-13
12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.
13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
The real power comes from what post #10 quotes...
You said — My supersense smells nonsense.

Not according to what God tells us in the Bible. See post #10 for one particular quote (not the only reference around to that teaching, though, in the Bible).
Even the belief that government can impose top-down measures to rescue the economy is a form of agenticity, with President Barack Obama being touted as the one with almost messianic powers who will save us.
And wrong on the other:
A third of transplant patients believe that the donors personality is transplanted with the organ.
There is some evidence to suggest that hormones and other biochemicals secreted by the transplanted tissue have an effect on personality.
My conclusion: The author has made a Type I error. He has connected too many dots and drawn the wrong conclusion, just like his example of an organism thinking there was a predator in the grass when it was only the wind.
“Examples: children believe that the sun can think and follows them around; because of such beliefs, they often add smiley faces on sketched suns”
Well, that proves it! I don’t suppose that children might pick up such ideas from stories written and told by adults.
I once liked to read SA but every so often I’m reminded why I no longer do.
Three more words: Build-A-Bear
As the old poster accurately asserted . . .
Just because you’re paranoid
does NOT mean
that they are NOT out to get you!
Having studied the globalist oligarchy since 1965 . . . there is NO THEORY about it.
It’s simply a fact . . . as their own quotes from 1900 to the present—ref’d in my tagline attest.
If the tendency of imagining patterns where nothing significant exists is
agenticity . . .
Failing to see piles of documented truth proving conspiracy when there IS A DEEP AND BROAD ONE
must
equal
WILLFUL BLINDNESS; WILLFUL STUPIDITY; WILFULL CLUELESSNESS; WILLFUL SUICIDAL TENDENCIES; an addiction to wishful fantasies . . . .
possibly even demon induced blindness.
Simple answer: People are fundamentally spiritual beings (even if they deny it sometimes), and therefore long for a relationship/peace with their creator!
