incompetence and chance, right? A lot of the world operates on randomness and chance. It's almost impossible for us to detect randomness. We're not good at that. We didn't evolve that. We evolved to be pattern finders, not randomness, understanding, right? The stories I tell, like the famous iPod shuffle feature that Jobs introduced, and then Apple got complaints from customers. It's not random because certain songs come up more than others. That's randomness, right? There's a pattern. And so they reprogrammed it to make it come out where each song is played the same number of times in your playset. You actually have to program that in to be non-random, right? The stars in the sky are random, but we see patterns of big and small dippers and scorpions and horses and whatnot. So, or even cancer clusters. It doesn't seem possible that in this town where there was this big industrial plant with a lot of leakage of their toxic chemicals, there's a cluster of certain kinds of cancers there. (47/57)
