“I bought 30 copies. To tell the truth, I wanted to buy 100 copies, but I was a little lost. I bought 50 copies last year. I will buy it next year. Because I have a dream to do this.”
People trying to buy lottery tickets
are lined up in front of several windows. People trying to buy lottery tickets don’t seem to be treated very well. A cold gust of wind blows over the road, and they wait for their turn while holding back the cold.
If a piece of paper turns into a bundle of banknotes, we can’t imagine what to do. Even if you can imagine it, you should give up on it.
Is the winning rate high this year? The number of lottery tickets issued and the number of people who buy them is quite large. The winning probability may be determined mathematically, but the lottery is not a mathematical play. It’s a desperate financial desire.
I replied that I wouldn’t buy such a thing. I’m seen as a weirdo.
When will concrete issues be replaced by abstract ones?
Can the scale of things limit the way we understand it?
No, as long as we can organize reality by replacing it with knowledge or information, the scale of reality should not interfere with our thinking.
However, because we can only process knowledge little by little, we abstract and handle tasks that are too large.
The tasks we can handle specifically are basically limited to relatively small tasks. For example, it is not easy to find concrete examples of global issues.
On the other hand, we handle small tasks every day, but we can’t imagine how they are linked to very big problems.
…So what?
The number of people in line is getting shorter and shorter. The closer a person stands to the window, the sooner he or she can buy the lottery ticket.
However, the sales floor here has multiple windows. Due to several factors, there is a window where the procession shortens relatively quickly. On the contrary, there are some windows that are slow.
If you look closely, people in line often move to other lines. Because they judge something.
However, the evidence that their judgment is correct is doubtful. Surprisingly, that’s a big challenge.
