I don’t know if this is already a thing or if there’s a name for it. Let’s say there’s a 50% chance of rain tomorrow, and you and I have plans to go hiking. I say to you,>It will not rain if you can sing the entire song “I’m Like a Bird” by Nelly Furtado while hula hooping without dropping the hula hoop.Now the chance of rain is no longer 50%; now, it’s closer to either 0% or 100%, depending on whether you fulfill the conditions I specified. The more ridiculous the conditions, the more certain the outcome. If you don’t do it, because you’d feel silly doing it, then it absolutely will rain and it’ll be your fault. If you do do it, AND you feel silly doing it, then it will not rain. The fact that you knew how ridiculous the task was and chose to do it anyway solidifies the belief just enough to make it work. If the task was something mundane, you’d have no qualms doing it, so there’d be no potency to it.
>>42339689This is just a raindance. Also, there is always a 100 or 0 percent probability a thing will happen. Happening is binary.
>>42340060No but I mean the probability changed WHEN I made the conditional contract with you. So it was random chance before, but now it’s a near certainty one way or the other depending on whether or not YOU did the hula dance

>>42339689Maybe a bit off topic, but a somethat developed a formula to affect probablitiy (It may be something more btw): "action"(source) <-- observer looking through future <-- wish continued via necessityit actualy helping me in gacha games
>>42339689What if I want it to rain tomorrow so I ask you for a spell to make it rain, and then I don’t do it, so that it rains? It’s raining now.
>>42340250I’m not sure what you’re asking, I guess it has to be something that you specifically do or don’t want to happen. Like if you wanted rain, and I made a contract for no rain, and you broke it, that wouldn’t have the same impact as if you wanted rain and I set a contract that guarantees rain and you fulfilled it. The positive wanting is crucial to this working.
