I keep having these experiences where I feel compelled to do something with no logical explanation, then afterwards it leads to some serendipitous (and unlikely) event.

Does anyone know of any scientific or not so scientific explanations for this sort of thing? Maybe its a psychological hindsight bias but the feeling is different from a coincidence. It’s a very real “I should do this but I have no idea why”.

Scientific explanation?  Not so far.  I just lean into the whimsy of it, and the more I do, the more those "irrational" nudges lead me to really good and cool things.  I've learned to give up on needing to know how it works - I speculate, I study different topics, but I'm not attached to discovering the answer.  I just go with it and life gets better and better.
