Quote from: No one on January 27, 2023, 10:38:01 PMHope is an idea, open to dismal outcomes.

Faith is concretely certain in faith's validity.
Indeed, there is something to this.

Back to my gambling analogy, you hope the ball lands on red, and when it lands on black, you may be disappointed to have lost, but are aware that the system [your instance of gambling] performed as designed. Now, you can assume that the ball eventually must land on red, and so you double down for every bet, except... The ball does not have to do any such thing. It may land on black two, seven or an infinity of consecutive times in a row. If you keep betting on red then, that would be closer to faith.

In Asmo's grey lump,
wrath and dark clouds gather force.
Luxembourg trembles.
