Ramblings 53

This time I want to share some psychology with you all. I recommend the book 'Who's Afraid of Rationality?' The probability of a car crashing into your living room is minuscule, but once it happens, humans naturally overestimate the probability of it happening a second time. Lottery is similar. If one store has a jackpot winner, a swarm of people will follow and buy tickets. From a probabilistic standpoint, the chance of winning the jackpot doesn't change. Even if it's the same store, it's achieved by throwing money at it. From a metaphysical perspective, of course, it's different. Card draws are also like this. If you've studied programming, you'll know that randomness is just following time, but being lucky also depends on luck. Unless you're a wealthy person who believes 'what's fated will be obtained, and what's not fated will be obtained through spending,' seeing others get lucky with cards won't change your own luck.
