stochasticity...
Listened to this story from NPR's Radio Lab this weekend and found it very revealing in our perception of the world - or as they phrased it, "random acts from an indifferent universe". When you look at the big picture without focusing in too tight on your own selfish experience with a tendency to only acknowledge selective details, "real randomness when you see it just doesn't feel random enough". Selective information only dissolves the real truth - be it the examination of chance events...or the news you are fed. When taking into consideration a broader context, "What feels spooky and almost twilight zonish in the moment is really not that improbable. What can feel so special in the moment is not so odd in its' real context." 80,89,72,0,B
