We have a saying here at Gapingvoid: “Nothing happens until somebody feels something”.
In other words, the transaction comes after the fact, the same way the final score in baseball is not the actual game itself.
Human beings are complex, machines are not.
Yet we like the machines. They don’t scare us so much. You just wind them up and watch them go.
But that isn’t where the actual game is, right?
Right?
