It's crazy and fascinating at the same time. I know that 23 means something ..at least to me. They say that people who see the number 23 they are kind of connected and related to it...i was born on the 23rd of April. I started seeing the number 23 8 years ago...and imagine how shocked i was when the movie "Number 23" was made. 23 is now part of my life. I can ignore it, i can't hide form it..i don't want to!

I saw on Google so many stories of this interesting number. I think there is nothing interesting around here. True, nothing happens accidently but when you only think about it (like me now and i'm positive that these days this number will appear in front of me everywhere) that when you only thnik about it it's like you say 'Come here!' and that's why you always see this. I think it's only this. Our minds are powerful so this might be a reason. Hmm … I saw on Google so many stories of this interesting number. I think there is nothing interesting around here.

Get this:

Mayan calendar predicted the end of the word in 2012
1. 20+1+2=23
2. 20+12=32 reverse the numbers and get: 23
3. 2+0+1+2=5

Not too far off were they?

Plus more recent the impression is, more strong the effect is. Your one success can wipe out your years of faliures, and vice versa. Here too, a random pattern "23" initially observed might start getting weight as the time progresses. I tend to exclusively focus on 23. As other commentators see different numbers, it could be an indication that if it wasn't for 23, it could have been any other number. This is a typical characteristics of a choatic system, where initial randomness can have huge effects later as the system evolves. @Shubhendu, Yes I guess you are right in saying that the halo effect of one’s past successes and faliures has a strong bearing on how we percieve someone.

Sorry missed that. Sometimes like the number "23", successful people "are looked at more" and unfairly at that, and judged on just a few initial good performances. At the same time, some people who fail are looked up as failures even though it might just be bad luck initially (I mean sample this : I am not a fan of any Harry Potter stuff, but its success goes undisputed. Just imagine had JK Rowling given up on getting her work published after the first 9 rejects by publishers. Now that she has been successful, even an average to bad book by her would be treated with respect by all publication houses). The "Sighting" (of the success of somebody or even a number), might not be a pattern, most likely an outlier. That makes more sense to me. Your post here has a direct link with the post you wrote a while back on success. *uncertainty and success. Sorry missed that.

I wonder how you relate this with your previous posts on uncertainty. We sometimes look for patterns that are non-existent. I would go with the confirmation bias explanation. I have a similar thing for the number 8. But that's because I have gotten heavily biased towards it over the years as I noticed a "pattern" over a long period of time. Interesting coming from you.
