Life is Not a Game

Have you ever tried making a game involving chance, on a board with no obvious structure?

Impossible. Requires a grid.

Cells for the numerator. Cells for the denominator.

Dice 🎲🎲 decide nothing when fractions cannot be made.

Probability works because we impose a grid on modern life.

Probability came from games. It works in games.

Life does not have a grid.

It does not have numerators and denominators.

Never let someone tell you your chances.

Life is not a game.
