it's all fat tails, they're all fat tails, assume correlational structure and whack peeps in the head if they say anything about bell curves when you play the game of code you play a demonic St. Petersburg martingale. you start with one time period. flip the coin- heads, you finish. tails, you double the time period. at the end of that time period, flip it again: heads, you finish. tails you double the time period again. and so on: the expectation is infinite. "well, that doesn't sound so bad, really" - there's why bernoulli was scratching his head.
