The main idea here is that in all ideas of modeling or identifying contingencies information goes missing or the information was never to be had to begin with. This is a key convergent finding in mathematics (incompleteness theorem, chaos theory), computer science (halting program, computational irreducibility, p != np), quantum physics (uncertainty principle) and biology (complexity theory) and statistics (Bayesian models, statistics, etc). How important that missing/unknown information to a situation is contingent on the situation at hand - what is the tolerance of error/inaccuracy. In the case of high frequency economic trading, the milliseconds and trade amounts matter a lot. In shooting a basketball, there's a fairly large tolerance margin of mismodeling.

Politics cannot be anything other than the complete mis-association of rhetoric -> external truth and bodies -> accidental outliers. Politics does not exist outside of that notional association.

The arc of human history is long but most of it was before we began our short descent into delayed awareness. And here it is. The only hope. To be here now. To recognize now, not in the delayed future that isn't yours nor mine, we were wrong. We will always be wrong.
