How Probability Interrupts

“Probability speaks with authority, but not always wisdom.”

Probability sounds responsible.

It references history, patterns, logic, and precedent.

Useful, but often premature.

Many ideas don’t fail because they’re impossible.

They disappear because they’re evaluated too soon.

A ruler measures

what hasn’t finished

becoming.

Purposeful Journaling Practice:

Write a possibility , then notice when probability enters the conversation.

Tomorrow, we pause evaluation.

One thought on “How Probability Interrupts

  1. This piece feels quietly incisive — like a pause in the middle of motion where insight suddenly lands. I love how you personify probability as something authoritative but not wise. That distinction is sharp and necessary; it captures how often we mistake confidence for truth, especially when numbers and precedent are involved.

    The progression is especially effective. You start in the rational register — history, patterns, logic — then gently undermine it by naming its limitation: timing. “Evaluated too soon” is such a clean, devastating phrase. It reframes failure not as lack of merit, but as lack of patience.
