The flapping of a single butterfly's wing today
produces a tiny change…
…so, in a month's time
a tornado that would have devastated the Indonesian coast
doesn't happen
or maybe one that wasn't going to happen
does
Ian Stewart
The Mathematics of Chaos
Can non-random events
cause random effects?
What do you do
if you possess a brief case that may contain either $0 or $1,000,000
and are offered $200,000 for the case?
What if the majority of a civilization
collectively chose the case and lost
but don’t know
or could but don't want to understand what they should?
