fate
I’m a scientific guy who sees fate everywhere. Turns out it was autism.
I guess the difference between Einstein’s fate and that of a shaman is replicability. It’s what the buddha talked about; reflecting the world. Einstein saw relativity; he saw the weave and he gave it form. That was his fate; his dhamma.
Other people have seen God; they had a different framework for understanding their world. I see fate, patterns, science, planning.
I see everything going back like the roots of a tree from now, converging, and ready to grow, on a steady path with a degree of randomness. I see that it could never have been any other way and will never be any other way.
For some reason I thought this contradicted science.
Fate doesn’t contradict science.
Fate *is* science.
Fate is autism spotting patterns. Some patterns are real, and some are not. Causality or coincidence? That’s the key. Science isn’t always correct or good. Fate is your brain testing a hypothesis.
