Did you just give an evolutionary explanation for the concept of probability?
It is much worse, this seems to be an evolutionary "explanation" for, say, particle physics, and I can't yet get through the resulting cognitive dissonance. This can't be right.
Yep, I saw the particle physics angle immediately too, but I saw it as less catastrophic than probability, not more :-) Let's work it out here. I'll try to think of more stupid-sounding questions, because they seemed to be useful to you in the past.
This is our monthly thread for collecting arbitrarily contrived scenarios in which somebody gets tortured for 3^^^^^3 years, or an infinite number of people experience an infinite amount of sorrow, or a baby gets eaten by a shark, etc. and which might be handy to link to in one of our discussions. As everyone knows, this is the most rational and non-obnoxious way to think about incentives and disincentives.
