Sociological approach

Science I think has an inkling in general.
Some inkling. Same thing wrong
with everyone I suspect. Fucking
uniqueness. Humanity's curse
as usual. I mean - of course
yours is different! Everyone's is,
I don't mean yours isn't. Still. Some
seem to notice it more than others, though,
and that seems to be their problem. Those
are the ones who have a much harder
or else easier time of it, excluding
the ones who don't notice it
more than others. Those have by far
the much easier or harder time, too.

What's the use of generalizing, though? Can't
compare apples and individuals. What we need

is statistics. Or at least odds. One
in seven point eight billion and climbing
seems about right. Fair odds, 'cause
we've all got a one-sized stake
in the claim, some skin in the game
- and as Marshall Mathers or rather Rabbit
observed, only one shot.

With odds like that
I always guess what's wrong
with us (or right) can't go
any distance at all
to evening them.
