The Calder Effect

A philosophical theory based upon the circumstances where one’s conscious thoughts, perceptions, and/or beliefs come to fruition beyond the feeling of reasonable coincidence.

The eponymous theory can be somewhat compared to frequency illusion, (also known as the Baader Meinhof Phenomenon), and has some aspects of manifestation, but is not directly similar to either.
an example of the calder effect:

*talking with my dad about the fish in my room*
me: that things gotta die soon
dad: it’s been alive for 5 years and has surpassed his other 3 friends life expectancies.
*2 days later*
*fish dies*

boom . ~calder effect~

The Mikey Effect

You know it when you feel it.

It is the positive effect you feel when in the presence of Mikey--that jovial guy at the climbing gym with the big personality that everyone knows.

The Mikey Effect is strongest when Mikey gives you effection.
"Bro, did you send the gnar at the climbing gym today?"
"Hell yeah! Thanks to The Mikey Effect my psych was high and I crushed it."

"Do you know that feeling when you're so touch-starved from the pandemic and then you go to the climbing gym and Mikey pats you on the shoulder and says, 'good job, bro.'? It felt soo good that when I got home I vaped 10:1 then reconnected with my son!"
"That's called The Mikey Effect!. You are blessed, my dude."
