Hey gang, Kevin here, Life22 and you've ever got in a car accident and your car like doesn't get, like it's fixed, right?
00:00:10 Kevin
Like you had an issue, maybe it wobbles in the front end or the engine smokes when you drive it up a hill because it's under a lot of load.
00:00:17 Kevin
You just got in a car accident, it's fixed.
00:00:20 Kevin
Like not like fixed, like, oh,
00:00:22 Kevin
It got totaled and now they bought out the insurance, bought out the loan, and now I get to go buy a new car.
00:00:27 Kevin
Now the new car has none of those problems, right?
00:00:30 Kevin
Like, yeah, not like that.
00:00:32 Kevin
More like you got in a car accident and then like, now all of a sudden your transmission doesn't clunk anymore between first and third, first and second gear.
00:00:39 Kevin
Like, doesn't really happen, right?
00:00:41 Kevin
What do they call that?
00:00:42 Kevin
Occam's razor?
00:00:42 Kevin
Like the most likely outcome is most likely what's going to happen.
00:00:45 Kevin
It's like a statistical, like, theory.
00:00:52 Kevin
Well, what if you got bit by a radioactive spider?
00:00:56 Kevin
What do you think the likelihood of you, like, becoming Spider-Man is?
00:01:02 Kevin
I think it's probable.
00:01:07 Kevin
I mean, it's possible, right?
00:01:09 Kevin
But, like, just like having your car getting fixed by being in a car accident or your leg
00:01:15 Kevin
know, your health increasing by getting in a tragic skiing accident, right?
00:01:18 Kevin
Like, being bit by a radioactive spider, I feel like you're more likely to die of cancer.
00:01:22 Kevin
Like, radioactive spider bites you and then, like, you know, you get, you get, like, neurotoxins, like, you know, start to rot your arm off rather than you being able to become a spider, right?
00:01:35 Kevin
And climb buildings and, you know, wear, wear stretchy tights.
00:01:39 Kevin
I mean, you can always wear stretchy tights.
00:01:40 Kevin
I'm not discerning that one.
00:01:42 Kevin
Um, but,
00:01:45 Kevin
That said, these are just throwing out there some statistical anomalies.
00:01:49 Kevin
I just, I was listening to a podcast the other day and he was talking about a lot of different things like how we got here, some existential kind of stuff, like why are we, how did we come into existence?
00:02:01 Kevin
More or less making a religious claim, but it was one of those like, it makes you wonder, like the likelihood of primordial soup happening on this planet, on this, you know, this ball of rock spinning around this particular sun.
00:02:13 Kevin
making us, right?
00:02:14 Kevin
Like, what's the likelihood of that happening?
00:02:17 Kevin
And like, he actually goes through the statistics and but it made me think of the Spider-Man or the car accident, you know, attribute.
00:02:25 Kevin
And it's like.
00:02:28 Kevin
It's very, very, you know, statistics and science play a lot of roles in a lot of things.
00:02:33 Kevin
Just just something to think about this morning, gang.
