I’ve been reading/listening to The Lost World (the one the movies based off of) and Ian Malcom talks about Gamblers Ruin during a point of the book where some people steal something and essentially die for it. I think it’s applies to 2020 perfectly.

Although it’s a fictional book, Gamblers Ruin is a very real thing. If you’ve never heard of it, the book describes it as “Gambler& #39;s Ruin was a notorious and much-debated statistical phenomenon that had major consequences both for evolution, and for everyday life.” (TLW)

Malcom proposes a question of “What happens over time?” Regarding a game of coin toss where if it lands on heads you get $1 and if it lands on tails you lose $1.

So what happens? In short Malcom explains “If you chart the gambler& #39;s fortunes over time, what you find is the gambler wins for a period, or loses for a period... everything in the world goes in streaks... you see it everywhere: in weather, in river flooding...

“Once things go bad, they tend to stay bad... Bad things cluster. Things go to hell together. That& #39;s the real world."

Aaaaaannnnd that’s basically 2020. This whole year is just a cluster of bad shit. Maybe the coin will flip in 2021.
