Fascinating read! And yet, ironically, the Lindy Hop didn't stay around.
...but in all seriousness, it's a neat idea to ruminate on.
Funnily enough, my wife and I did a Lindy Hop class when we visited NYC a few years back. (It's super difficult, I struggled 😀)
Thanks for reading and commenting Adam!
Reminds me of (1 of) Emerson's advice on 📚 to read: never read any that is not a year old.
Re: smoking - our PM Rishi is introducing a law to ban anyone born from 2009 onwards from buying fags... Hope it goes thru soon 🤞
Re: gambling - it's actually "boomed" because most forms (outside Horses) were weirdly illegal in the states until just recently. I wrote a section abt it not too long ago :)
Yeah, I’ve been watching this boom from the sidelines. Dabbling a bit to make Saturday’s games more interesting is kinda tempting 😀
I like the reminder that it’s a heuristic. Still useful to reduce uncertainty on certain aspects of society!
Thanks for the comment Kenny. Yeah life isn't a game of certainty, but rather probability. This is a useful filter for improving probability.
I agree. Learning about probabilities in high school changed my outlook on life!
Thanks Mat, I appreciate the comment 🙏
