Yeah, exactly.

And in fact, there's a term for that called patternicity or apophenia, where we sort of think we see patterns that might actually not really exist in reality.

So you're right.

It's this kind of a psychological cognitive tendency we have.

And so now, basically, you and I enter a world in which our culture tells us

There might be something over there.

There's something weird happening over there.

And so we didn't ask the question that you asked earlier, which is, hey, maybe there's nothing.

We go in thinking there's something that needs an explanation because of the sort of the myth-making that happens, right?

And then we come back to the earlier explanations, which is something weird is happening, so it must be something weird at its origin or maybe less weird, but as yet undiscovered, magnetic disturbances, methane...

bubbles, sea monsters, strange weather events.

Yeah, and I would be on your side because I think almost these explanations function like a Rorschach test where it tells you more about you than about the world, right?

Like you and I tend towards a maybe more scientific explanation.

Somebody else will tend towards a sci-fi explanation or an occult explanation.

Yeah, okay.

And, of course, we need to keep that open.

But here's a question, and this is also, again, what I think is so helpful about the Bermuda Triangle, is that there is actually potentially a straightforward solution that we can apply to this problem and to ones similar to it.

And, now, it doesn't always work, but basically, in cases like this, I ask myself, okay,

If it were a thing, like the thing that I'm asking about, is the Bermuda Triangle real?

If it were real, is there anybody who could make or lose a ton of money?
