This is a repeat of one of my more popular poems, republished with a hope of getting a new audience, who might have missed it.    "There's always a road waiting for one of the lovers to depart."   The saga of love is a play of light and shadow. There is incident, coincidence, an assemblage of adrenalin, a bellowing of blood, a singling out of songs, a resurgence of senses. Love arranges it's own arrivals, often as a storm, frequently as a story, most often as winter sun. It rearranges parts of our life, it splinters our days in ways that distance hurts -  the desire to be, see, touch, smell, immerse, borders on desperation.   For deep inside, every lover knows that embedded in the ecstasy of a love story is it's extinction. Sometimes as slow burn, sometimes as a turn on the road, generally as gentle drift, often as an exercise of getting lost.   And then the helplessness ensues. Compasses point towards the setting sun, the flowers coalesce into routine, the days stop beckoning, sunrises only show autumns. But it is as if it's preordained - just as love is as much a part of life as breathing, separation is it's conjoined twin.   Why does love wither? Where does it go when it's gone? Are there secret burial grounds for love, epitaph-less, unmarked? Is there a floating cemetery of feelings in heaven for lost love - a consideration for the hurt, commiseration for the haunted, a soul for the homeless?   Because the inevitability of drift is in love's DNA,  it's loss is in its definition, it's celebration is forever aforetime. But we accept its inevitable tragedy, because our life is governed by its presence, and gets its mojo from its promise.   The journey, in life, or love, then, is everything.   If you liked this poem, consider listening to these other poems which talk of poignant separations -  Heartbreak Lovers of Broken Mountains Fallen Flowers Find other magical things, like a lovely free chapbook of poems, and other resources here.   Uncut Poetry has started a new Podcast called Red River Sessions (on Spotify, iTunes, Pocket Casts, etc), where we will talk to published poets, about their poetry, their craft and what haunts them.

I have two main goals with these solocasts: advancing the mission of this podcast, and getting more interaction with our listener community. So far it's working: I just had a conversation with Jeff Salzman (#00041) about my definition of the Teal Society last time around (#00046).   I thought he was going to body slam me, and maybe he did, but it was surprisingly gentle.   So this time, I'm going to talk about Gandhi, who is one of my true loves and teachers. My proposal is that, as hard as Gandhi is to grok, the enlightenment-era project of the scientific method is equally difficult to grasp and live. And equally important.   As I say in the episode, this is all heading towards the importance of community.   Translation: Throwing amazing dinner parties with delicious cocktails. Mescal and amaro as my co-host would say.    Sneak preview: This morning I talked to one of mentors, John Guiliano (#00053). He had just finished re-reading Gandhi's autobiography during a 3-day silent fast he (John) just concluded. I got his hot take on this episode and that'll be out soon too.   Show Links: Voicemail:  https://www.speakpipe.com/10khshow Email: info@10kh.show Podcast website: http://www.10kh.show Momentum Lab: http://www.momentumlab.com   About our sponsor: 10,000 Heroes is brought to you by Momentum Lab.    I normally refer to Momentum Lab as an experiment-based coaching program or a goal accelerator.   But it's beyond that.

In Improbability, Chance, and the Nineteenth-Century Realist Novel (Ohio State UP, 2020), Adam Grener advances a new approach to evaluating realism in fiction by arguing that nineteenth-century literary realism shifted attention to the historical and social dimensions of probability in the period's literature. In an era in which probability was increasingly defined by statistical concepts of aggregation and abstraction, the realist writers discussed here turned to chance and improbability to address representational problems of contingency, difference, and scale. Contemporary thinking about probability came to recognize the variability and even randomness of the world while also discovering how patterns and order reemerge at scale. Reading chance as a tension between randomness and order, Grener shows how novels by Jane Austen, Sir Walter Scott, Charles Dickens, Anthony Trollope, and Thomas Hardy resist the demands of probabilistic representation and develop strategies for capturing cultural particularity and historical transformation. These authors served their visions of realism by tactically embracing improbability in the form of coincidences, fatalism, supernaturalism, and luck. Understanding this strategy helps us to appreciate how realist novels work to historicize the social worlds and experiences they represent and asks us to rethink the very foundation of realism. Su Min Kim is an independent scholar of nineteenth-century British literature. Her research focuses on the intersections of literary and mathematical history in nineteenth-century Europe. She is also a freelance writer and polyglot. For more conversations on her research, writing, and foreign languages, contact her at sumin.kim@u.nus.edu. Learn more about your ad choices.

"... freedom is never wrested away, it is forever a choice which we just gift away."   The tragedy of the modern day work place is its uncanny ability to numb souls. Oh jobs give purpose, direction, sustenance. But the price to be paid is often exacting. It's a dichotomous entity - both a portal to freedom and an entrapment, a privilege of accomplishment and a secret that erodes, a means to stability and an illusion of permanence, the shimmer of independence and the reality of a cul-de-sac. There is so much which we demand of a job forgetting that it demands equally of us.  There is no free ride in this world and the money, perks, and position which are required to put one's body and soul together in fact delinks the body from the soul.   What is this dichotomy, this  reality of heights attached with acrophobia? What is this desperate need for power and privilege and the inability to hold on to the spoils? The desperate cry to be held when the heights bring  distance without the insight,  when the hunger to be understood often leads to a life full of hiatuses.    What are we if not beings subsumed in the search for meaning? To earn is often the mistaken first step to fullness, without knowing that it is also the first step away from fulfilment. What is it about the modern work place that it erodes our souls so? That embedded within its necessities is the entire armament of destruction. It is so easy to live wrapped up in the beatific illusion of privilege with all its accruements, when the very marrow  of our souls has been exacted as it's price.   We often don't even know what we've become. On the wings of accolades, we mistake living for life. Are we fools to be fooled or we know no other way to approach life than what we've been trained to do? We are often no more than what our jobs demand and give. The fog inside us grows so thick that we don't recognize our own charred selves, as we put ourselves on a mantel covered in gold and silver. We are our very own Midas.   If you liked this poem, consider listening to these other poems which talk of sublimity and improbabilities  - The Improbability of Wishes  When the Goddesses Depart   The Sublime in the Ordinary  Follow me on Instagram at @sunilgivesup.

Western culture has moved from a time when it was impossible not to believe in God, to a time when it became possible not to believe in God, to a time, when for many, it is impossible to believe in God. We can be made to feel foolish or even anti-intellectual to believe that a prime-mover was necessarily essential for the universe to exist. Yet, can the universe possibly exist with out a supreme being setting it in motion? Join us as we consider the possibilities of a self existing universe and why belief in a prime-mover is not only theoretical and plausible but necessarily essential. The (rather extensive) notes are attached.

The science behind miracles. Have you ever encountered something so striking that it made you say, “That’s a miracle!” Or perhaps you’ve experienced a phenomenon that makes you feel as though it’s too extraordinary to ever happen by chance. But the research of professor and statistician David J. Hand indicates that what we consider miraculous is actually both ordinary and easily predicted according to something called the improbability principle. This book unpacks the science and statistics behind seemingly miraculous phenomena. Do you want more free book summaries like this?

Leadershipology is a word that Keith coined years ago. The suffix -ology means “the study of,” therefore the word leadershipology means “the study of leadership.” Leadership is choosing a way of thinking, being and doing life that is not common. Living life as a leader is not easy but through daily encouragement and empowerment, I believe that you can continually transform your life by challenging your own thought processes. The purpose of Leadershipology is to help leaders move beyond knowledge into action daily! For 2021 I will be sharing a 5 min 3-5 times a week leadershipology to help you think...be...do leadership in your life - daily. For 5 minutes a day, my goal is to help you have more of an intentional leadership emphasis, so that you can grow in your thought processes as a leader.

The science behind miracles. Have you ever encountered something so striking that it made you say, “That’s a miracle!” Or perhaps you’ve experienced a phenomenon that makes you feel as though it’s too extraordinary to ever happen by chance. But the research of professor and statistician David J. Hand indicates that what we consider miraculous is actually both ordinary and easily predicted according to something called the improbability principle. This book unpacks the science and statistics behind seemingly miraculous phenomena. *** Do you want more free audiobook summaries like this?

The Infinite Improbability Drive is a wonderful new method of crossing interstellar distances in a few seconds; without all that tedious mucking about in hyperspace. As the Improbability Drive reaches infinite improbability, it passes through every conceivable point in every conceivable universe almost simultaneously. In other words, you're never sure where you'll end up or even what species you'll be when you get there. It's therefore important to dress accordingly. Dallas-local artist J Clay helms this 73 minute adventure.

On April 13, 2029, a 370-meter wide asteroid formally known as 99942 Apophis will pass by Earth at a distance of about 19,000 miles. While 19,000 miles sounds like a long way away, but in astronomical terms it's the equivalent of having a bullet whiz by your ear. There are man-made satellites that orbit farther from Earth. Even scarier, it was initially believed there was a slight chance Apophis could strike the Earth in 2036. That's why, when the asteroid and its trajectory was discovered in 2004, scientists named it after the Egyptian god of chaos who, by the way, is also the villain in the TV series, Stargate-SG1. Thankfully, that possibility has since been ruled out. Still, as the saying goes “There are plenty more where that came from,” in particular, in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. The imminent threat of asteroid-caused destruction was the motivation behind a recent Planetary Defense Conference at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center. The purpose of the conference was to discuss “the threat to Earth posed by asteroids and comets, and actions that might be taken to deflect a threatening object.” While the chances of something the size of Apophis or bigger hitting the Earth are remote, it would only take one to dramatically alter or even destroy human civilization as we know it. Thus, we should be grateful that scientists are taking the potential threat seriously. And yet, all of this underscores how improbable our very existence, never mind human civilization, is. There is something called the “Rare Earth Hypothesis,” which holds that intelligent life is the result of “improbable astrophysical and geological events and circumstances.” Whereas people like Carl Sagan insisted, based on faulty math and even faultier logic, that intelligent life was common in the Cosmos, the Rare Earth Hypothesis takes note of all the things that had to go exactly right for us to exist. For instance, not only does a planet have to be just the right distance from its sun, often called the “Goldilocks Zone,” but its tilt and orbit must be just right, too. And, its sun must also be just the right distance from the center of its galaxy. Even if the astrophysical requirements are met, there's still geology. The historian Will Durant once wrote that “civilization exists at the forbearance of geology, subject to change without notice.” For a stark reminder of how precarious human life and civilization are geologically, just recall the 2004 earthquake and tsunami off the coast of Sumatra that killed more than 200,000 people. As horrific as that geological event was, it wasn't even the deadliest of my lifetime: In 1976, an earthquake in China killed between 240 and 600 thousand people. Our response to our persistent existence despite the precariousness of our condition shouldn't be fear or alarm; it should be wonder and gratitude that we are here at all. Think of Psalm 8, where considering the moon and stars prompts the question “What is man that you are mindful of him, the son of man that you care for him?” Compared to much of the created order, never mind God, we're fragile, dependent, and not very powerful. Nevertheless, God is mindful of us and He does care for us. In the climax to the book of Job, the Lord, speaking out of the whirlwind—yet another natural phenomenon we are powerless against—makes it clear that He is not obligated to speak to us. He is the creator. We are the creatures. And yet, He does speak to us. Even more than that, he became one of us. He took on our fragility, finitude, and vulnerability. Physicist Freeman Dyson once wrote that the more he examined the universe and the details of its architecture, the more evidence he found that the universe in some sense must have known we were coming. Actually, its creator did, which is why we continue to beat the odds.

Why is it that incredibly unlikely things actually happen quite regularly and why should we, in fact, expect such things to happen?  My guest on the podcast today is Professor David Hand and we're talking about his book, The Improbability Principle. If you're interested in coincidences, probability or gambling, this conversation with eminent statistician David Hand is especially for you.  David has a long and impressive bio. He's Senior Research Investigator and Emeritus Professor of Mathematics at Imperial College, London.  He's also Chief Scientific Advisor to Winton Capital Management, which is where we connected. David is a Fellow of the British Academy, and an Honorary Fellow of the Institute of Actuaries, and has served (twice) as President of the Royal Statistical Society.  David is a prolific academic, having published 300 scientific papers and 29 books, including Principles of Data Mining, Information Generation, Measurement Theory and Practice, The Wellbeing of Nations, and The Improbability Principle, the subject of our conversation today.  He's recipient of the Guy Medal of the Royal Statistical Society, the George Box Medal and, in 2013, was made OBE for services to research and innovation. Here's my conversation with Professor David Hand, author of The Improbability Principle, in episode 302 of Informed Choice Radio.

David Hand is Emeritus Professor of Mathematics at Imperial College in London, where he was Professor of Statistics. He served two terms of office as President of the Royal Statistical Society, and is currently Chief Scientific Advisor to Winton Capital Management. As a statistician, he is an enthusiast for data, and how to extract information and understanding from it, and for how probability and chance affect our lives. He’s written 29 books, including The Improbability Principle: Why Coincidences, Miracles, and Rare Events Happen Every Day. The Improbability Principle explores the curious and apparently contradictory fact that events which are extremely unlikely seem to occur terribly often. We know that the chance of winning a lottery is astronomically small, and yet someone seems to win almost every week. Worse, there are people who have won lotteries twice, and even three times. We hear stories of people who lose a ring, only to rediscover it twenty years later. Many of us have had the experience of thinking of someone just before the phone rang, and it turns out be them, or of visiting a strange town and unexpectedly bumping into a neighbour or old friend. In his book, Hand describe why these sorts of things should in fact be expected. They are the result of five laws – scientific and mathematical laws of nature, not magical laws. Put together, these laws essentially say that extremely improbable events are commonplace, and show why this is the case.

Alabama Football Podcast Breaks Down the 2017 Alabama Recruiting Class   In this episode Tom and Dave from the Alabama Football Podcast breakdown the Tide’s haul on National Signing Day 2017.   The Improbability of it All Trees do not grow to the sky. There is a way about things, a natural order, a limit. That is unless the sapling in question was planted in Tuscaloosa a decade ago by master arborist Nick Saban. Only a few short years ago Alabama set a record for pulling in the second and then the third consecutive top ranked recruiting class. When Saban started to showcase his recruiting skills a surprisingly few programs could boast three consecutive top 10 classes. Now Saban is just showing off, running laps around the recruiting competition with his 7th consecutive top ranked class. Oh, and according to one service, his highest ranked class while patrolling the sidelines in Bryant-Denny. Breaking Down the Class With 26 signees, 12 early enrollees, 2 Blue Shirts, and even a 4-star Gray Shirt, the story of this class is already legend.  Add in the 3 years invested in its assemblage and the 3-5 years in which most of these Crimson careers will play out and it is easy to agree that this plot line has many chapters yet to tell. But that didn’t stop the intrepid AFP team from putting our spin on the freshly minted class.  We predict our day one contributors, career all-stars, and x-factors. Further, we identify position battles that will burn hot this spring with promises for lasting impacts across the playing rotation in the fall. The Future is Next In January, Alabama fell to Clemson on the biggest stage the sport has to offer. In today’s headlines-trump-facts environment, that portended the collapse of the Alabama dynasty. However, to take that position is ignore facts that Stevie Wonder can see spring from the page. By Saban standards, the Tide fielded a young team while continuing to develop a stockpile of talented youngsters who have not yet broken into the rotation.  Add to the mix a talented and diverse 2017 class and it does not look like Alabama is going anywhere any time soon.

David Hand is Emeritus Professor of Mathematics at Imperial College in London, where he was Professor of Statistics. He served two terms of office as President of the Royal Statistical Society, and is currently Chief Scientific Advisor to Winton Capital Management. As a statistician, he is an enthusiast for data, and how to extract information and understanding from it, and for how probability and chance affect our lives. He’s written 29 books, including The Improbability Principle: Why Coincidences, Miracles, and Rare Events Happen Every Day. The Improbability Principle explores the curious and apparently contradictory fact that events which are extremely unlikely seem to occur terribly often. We know that the chance of winning a lottery is astronomically small, and yet someone seems to win almost every week. Worse, there are people who have won lotteries twice, and even three times. We hear stories of people who lose a ring, only to rediscover it twenty years later. Many of us have had the experience of thinking of someone just before the phone rang, and it turns out be them, or of visiting a strange town and unexpectedly bumping into a neighbour or old friend. In his book, Hand describe why these sorts of things should in fact be expected. They are the result of five laws – scientific and mathematical laws of nature, not magical laws. Put together, these laws essentially say that extremely improbable events are commonplace, and show why this is the case.

If you spend your childhood visiting museums hoping that paintings could talk to you and tell you their secrets, and then if you grew up hearing stories about your family’s stolen art treasures, a fascinating story is bound to emerge. Author and filmmaker Hannah Rothschild recounts how her experiences inspired her new novel, “The Improbability … Continue reading "Hannah Rothschild – Postcard from India 2"

Are miracles nothing more than statistical probabilities? Are unobserved rare events happening around us all the time? Can you give yourself better odds at wining the lottery? In episode 12 we speak with distinguished statistician, Professor David J. Hand, about his book: The Improbability Principle – Why Coincidences, Miracles and Rare Events Happen Every Day. The odds are very favourable that you will enjoy this interview.

Every time the PowerBall comes out people seem to go crazy about probability. In this episode I want you to ponder a exponentially greater probability... The probability of you! You are mathematically improbable and this should make you smile. Using mathematics and genetics some people have attempted to calculate this crazy number. I don't want to spoil the surprise, but whatever you think is the number you are way off. Let's do this. Click to view: show page on Awesound

When is a coincidence not a coincidence? On this episode, Dr. David Hand discusses his book, The Improbability Principle, and why miracles and coincidences happen much more often than we would expect.

On Start the Week Andrew Marr discusses the value and authenticity of art. In her novel The Improbability of Love, Hannah Rothschild satirises the art world from the Russian oligarchs and sheiks ready to spend excessive amounts, to the unscrupulous dealers and politicians, as she explores what a painting is really worth. The artist Grayson Perry has never been slow to laugh at the art world and question the role of the artist, and in his latest exhibition he brings Provincial Punk to Margate. Xavier Bray is a curator at the Dulwich Picture Gallery which earlier this year placed a cheap Chinese copy among its collection to see if visitors could spot the difference, and the filmmaker Patrick Mark tells the story of the iconic luxury brand from the 19th century - Fabergé. Producer: Katy Hickman.
