I really liked when Mr. Fry talked about Zeno giving his pupil a bean and asking him if it was a heap and compared that kind of ambiguity to the ambiguity surrounding moral questions that people currently have to face (specifically, he used abortion and statutory rape in his examples). I mostly just liked this because I recognized Zeno and his heap paradox, but it was also interesting that he made this comparison. It really helped him to make a point about how strange some choices we have to make and laws we have to follow are. Which is a good point to make. Although it is very important that we have authority (to maintain order and protect our lives), we should never stop questioning the directions that it takes us in. Authority should maintain society, not control it.

Apophenia is refusing to believe in clutter and noise, and choosing to believe in coincidence and chance. Apophenia most appears in your life when you experience synchronicity.
