We need more goat sacrifices

TW 20h In terms of control, I'm thinking of Wiseman's studies on luck. (Not a scientist, have no idea about the math on the original papers, but it sounds compelling enough.) He found that some people are more lucky than other people, and nearly all lucky people consider themselves to be lucky. His thesis, based on a couple ingenious experiments, is that lucky people, for whatever reason, *notice things in their environment more readily*, most usually opportunities. Visualizing does seem to work, at least not to hurt, some people; perhaps it's a way of trying to train yourself to notice things differently. It certainly crops up with surprising regularity in the careers of authors you've heard of. Interestingly, *actual* medieval magic practitioners believed this is how magic really worked. It wasn't some kind of empirical or physics-based process as so many science folks assume. Like (12) Reply Share
