“It’s better to be lucky than good”

Luck is the phenomenon and belief that defines the experience of improbable events, especially improbably positive or negative ones. The naturalistic interpretation is that positive and negative events may happen at any time, both due to random and non-random natural and artificial processes, and that even improbable events can happen by random chance. In this view, the epithet “lucky” or “unlucky” is a descriptive label that refers to an event’s positivity, negativity, or improbability.

In other words, luck is just randomness that goes your way. You can manipulate your luck by manipulating your exposure to randomness. In a world that is increasingly chaotic, it may feel like you have no control, and life is on a pre-set trajectory. But what if there are things you can do to bring order to chaos? Or harness chaotic energy to shift the odds into your favour?

To progress through life, we are required to make a series of decisions which ideally lead to our desired outcome. Unfortunately, chaos and randomness do not allow us to live a life full of deterministic decisions. In real life we must deal with probabilities and chance. What methods do you use to make sense of these probabilities and optimize them?
