I always like the a concept of the Weirdularity
It says that
1. The number of things that happen to people is increasing because the number of people is increasing.
2. The amount of news a person can consume is limited.
3. The news only reports on things that are "weird" -- which is to say the things that are at the far end of the bell curve.
4. As sample size increases, variability increases.
5. Because of (1,4,3, and 2) more and more of the news will be weird news.
6. Eventually all the news will be weird news.
When all news is weird news, we have reached the Weirdularity.
