coin toss

coin toss

realism is knowing that out of 100 coin tosses about 50 will be heads.

pessimism is looking at the 40 heads before you and concluding you're going to get a tail.

optimism is knowing that it's your one toss that matters and your toss is independent of all the other tosses before and after you.

idealism is thinking that all coin tosses should land on its edge. magic (or engineering) is when you actually make it happen.
