There is also luck.
- max_ 3y agoThe word luck has no meaning. Otherwise everything is luck.

- max_ 3y agoThe word luck has no real scientific meanings. Other wise, life on planet earth is a lucky accident, you being born was an accident, you now getting sever autism is mistake, you reading my comment is a lucky accident, You being able to understand what I am reading is just luck. Life/reality does have some randomness but it's really naive to call all Randomness simply luck. What is more accurate to do is to define things in terms of odds (probabilities). And call something as having higher probability or a lower probability. Otherwise, everything does have an element luck/randomness.

- klabb3 3y agoThis rings true, but understates just how important timing can be. A difference of just a couple of years can be enormous.
