Doc Edward Morbius ⭕​<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://toot.cat/@CptSuperlative" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>CptSuperlative</span></a></span> On randomness, <em>still</em> my favourite article of the past two decades, "If you can't choose wisely, choose randomly", by Michael Schulson:</p><blockquote><p>As moderns, we take it for granted that the best decisions stem from a process of empirical analysis and informed choice, with a clear goal in mind. That kind of decision-making, at least in theory, undergirds the ways that we choose political leaders, play the stock market, and select candidates for schools and jobs. It also shapes the way in which we critique the rituals and superstitions of others. But, as the Kantu’ illustrate, there are plenty of situations when random chance really is your best option.</p></blockquote><p><a href="https://aeon.co/essays/if-you-can-t-choose-wisely-choose-randomly" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">aeon.co/essays/if-you-can-t-ch</span><span class="invisible">oose-wisely-choose-randomly</span></a></p><p>Much more, and apparently heavy reliance on a couple of books I'd still like to read, by Michael Dove, Michael Stone's <em>The Luck of the Draw: The Role of Lotteries in Decision Making</em>, Robert Finlay's <em>Politics in Renaissance Venice</em>, and a few others. </p><p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://fire.asta.lgbt/@aud" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>aud</span></a></span> </p><p><a href="https://toot.cat/tags/MichaelSchulson" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MichaelSchulson</span></a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/randomness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>randomness</span></a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/sortition" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>sortition</span></a></p>
