Aneristic Illusions / Re: The Resistance 2.0!

Now that the midterms have passed, I'll probably go back to being a critical asshole about the democrats, since I have strong doubts that they will do a goddamn thing to protect people or rights. At most I think that the dems will not be blatantly stripping them away. I truly hope that I am proven wrong.

We have a perfectly healthy horse. We can beat it all we want.

Yes, I was being unfair there, it doesn't matter what personal reasons people had to vote against the laziest and most insulting of cons, they did do it, hopefully that will hold true again in two years.

Unfortunately, there is a bunch of recently passed legislation that will take effect just as the newly elected democrats take power. The results will not be good.

Republicans will say "Well, well, well. You voted in a bunch of libruls and now look what happened." and a lot of low information voters will probably fall for it.

By the way, the other day I look for how specialists formalize the odds of an event and I happen to land on this page listing current trends, but it mostly makes me realize how much theory fails as soon as a grain of sand gets involved. A player misses a pass, the weather shifts, and the whole mathematical model collapses.
So, I would love for you to share your views and experiences on this. Do you trust predictive calculation systems to guess an outcome, or do you think everything is pure illusion and randomness always wins in the end ?

Right now I take a deep interest in how we try to guess or anticipate uncertain events, whether for friendly bets, everyday choices, or analyzing the dynamics of a sports match. My partner claims that only cold statistics matter, but I remain convinced that the human factor and total chaos disrupt any calculation.

Hi everyone. Following what I shared in my presentation about our way of looking for order where there is none, I am asking a slightly practical existential question today. I know you have a critical mind around here, so I prefer asking real people rather than an ai or cold articles reciting theoretical probabilities without a soul.

It is my interest in the philosophy of chaos and the way everyone tries to rationalize randomness that pushes me to register. I look for people who do not take themselves too seriously but love to dig deep into topics. I want to read your feedback, understand your own contradictions, and share my thoughts when I get stuck on a concept or a line of thinking.
