Great post JD! I am sharing this to my online class for the "common good" section as it is a perfect explanation of the market in general language. I even had to read it to my wife (she approved as well and is in no way trained in economics, lol).
This is so true JD. It ties in with our philosophy of first discover the things that are relevant and important to your customers, right now, and base everything else in your business around that.
“The odds,” statistics, are cool/ly objective, for individual players - which is who matters - if the function is bounded enough. Poker & a single deck, & a sufficient+a little extra bankroll, say.
But for all the “really big shoe” things statistics erases individuals into numbers to be gamed.
You’re in the Labcorp now, Marine! Let’s fill your jarhead up with reference ranges averages of all ya’ll divided by 2.
Planes. Ionizing radiation. Bad air. Food courts at malls seating - often with body positives++ on one side, or the other, or on both sides. The TSArs & their ridiculous sockhops (where are the bolsheviks when they are really needed?).
I’ve been in some fender-benders. It ain’t the same as plane crashes.
I’ve sold. But not out.
And this became a stronger pitch with the passage of time … maybe I had some trouble with the curve when I was unpacking the chute others had improperly packed me into:

Thanks for another great essay.
In the words of J. Vernon McGee, [You] “Put the cookies on the lower shelf where the kiddies can get to them.” Thanks, just lovely.
