    Connections.

    I love the stories about how seemingly disconnected events at different times and in different parts of the world actually have a connection. Like how some random chance meeting of two people 100’s of years ago started a chain reaction that ended up with us having some cool new technology or idea.

      Jeri Ryan, who played 7 of 9 in Star Trek, was married to Jack Ryan, who was a Republican senator. Allegedly, Jack liked watching her have sex with strangers. They got into a sex scandal that led to Jack Ryan losing the re-election. The man who won that election was, then a political upstart, Barack Obama.

      There’s a connection where 50 Shades of Gray wouldn’t have been written without 9/11 happening.

      Oh! I also love that too! And thinking about maybe having seen some of my current best friends before we ever met - like we were both at a mall at the same day when we were kids or something.

      Basically that one episode of Community!

      What’s the difference between complicated and complex? Normally people encounter complicated things in everyday dlife, but what you’re talking about is way beyond complicated. It’s truly complex.

      There are other definitions on Wikipedia, but this example should get you started.
