Random or Not II20 June 2023
[“Oh, no, no, not another piece of information I don’t want to know.” Sorry, yes.] You are on a cruise in the North Atlantic that cost you over $24,000 for a room with a veranda. That’s a lot of money to toss and turn on an often roiling ocean. You’re having your evening scotch at the premier bar on the ship when, “Why, Johnny Boy Bilbo, funny to see you here? It’s me Jacob, your neighbor down the street, the one with the huge sunflowers in his yard. What are the odds of this? Wow! With almost eight billion people on earth the two of us are on the same ship in the Northern Atlantic. Wowee!” I hate to disabuse Jacob but two people from the same economic class from the same country meeting in an unexpected place Is not necessarily random. It is not one person out of eight billion, it is one person out of all the people who go on cruises that they can afford. People who go on many such cruises. That limits the pool of people from your massive number of people on Earth. Limits them a lot! There’s more to this as well; how are vacations given or taken by a person of that income in their country? The choices of who will be on that cruise are now narrowing much, much more. Now, it’s not just Jacob of the sunflowers from that area going on cruises. There are other people that Johnny Boy Bilbo might know beforehand. There might just be people from his area that he doesn’t know but meets on that cruise. That seems wondrous as well. (“What a coincidence!”) Or they work in the same company. (“Wowee, zowee!”) Or, hu oh, they were once lovers. (“Janice, uh, ah, I’d like you to meet my wife.”) Sometimes random is hard to ferret out and sometimes it is easy to see in events that aren’t random. It is a conundrum for most of us. A big conundrum for casino players, especially slot players. You can see that the world is now becoming a much smaller place for the above neighbors; somewhat (but not quite) like the path of all those tigers in the jungle. Johnny Boy Bilbo and Jacob of the sunflowers are discovering that. The actual living of life is sometimes random and sometimes it isn’t. Hard to figure it out at all times. Everything can seem random when they have real underpinnings. And some things are random but don’t seem so. Is what is happening to you now random or not? In some things it is easy to tell; in others? Not so easy. All the best in and out of the casinos! Frank Scoblete’s web site is www.frankscoblete.com.
