> Random events, by their nature, should not follow a pattern
When a woman gives birth to a child, it is random whether it is a boy or a girl. But there is a pattern: when 100 women give birth to a child each, we expect 50 boys and 50 girls.
This article made me question how we think about the interactions between people, that you could make the same distinction in economics as we do between statistical mechanics and thermodynamics.
