When you play with musicians, you're bound to mess up, and when you're a novice, you'll likely stop everything and start from the beginning, whereas a seasoned player will jump back on, because the song is playing in their head. But that's not even the feeling I'm talking about, that's still the player actively keeping time. There's a point when it becomes so intuitive that you no longer have to actively keep time. It just becomes a notion.

I'm not sure I'm following your train of thought or what you're making the connection back to.

Quote:I think this could explain how sometimes we know exactly when someone might call us on the phone and other "weird" things. We subconsciously keep time with the pattern in our lives. Now, obviously this is just as much of an assertion as a supernatural explanation, but at least it moves it away from the supernatural.

The claim that "we know exactly when someone might call us" is all just confirmation bias, though. You remember the times when you think "Hey, I think mom might call me today" and when she does you pat yourself on the back and forget all the times you thought she would call and she doesn't.

It's from Mean Girls.

It's sad that I know that.
