Crisis: Ukraine vs. Cuba?
The worst crisis in the world today is the war in Ukraine, which, if not managed well, may destroy us all as a species (This Is How World War III Begins). The crisis is often compared with the Cuban Missile Crisis, and hence the solution should be similar too (How JFK Would Pursue Peace in Ukraine).
I agree with this analogy in principle, but would like to take this opportunity to better understand the Cuban Missile Crisis, the war in Ukraine, JFK, and Joe Biden.

Adventures With 3 Coin Flips. Part 2: Connecting the Micro to the Macro
In Part 1, we saw that increasing the observation window changes the results for the occurrence of tails following heads. That raises the question: How does the micro (small observation window) relate to the macro (large observation window)? More specifically, what is the relationship between results from a small observation window (three flips) and those from a large observation window (100 flips)?
Adventures With 3 Coin Flips. Part 1: The Gamblers’ Paradox
Many gambling activities involve betting on events for which the outcomes obey rigid, specified odds. When there is no mechanical bias, roulette wheels have fixed odds, including some that are binary (50:50) such as red vs. black. Betting on the flip of a coin is likewise a binary 50:50 proposition: heads or tails. Why is it then that there is a propensity for some gamblers to place wagers in a pattern conflicting with the known 50:50 odds? For example, after a string of blacks on a roulette wheel, why do some gamblers keep increasing the amounts bet on red with each succeeding black?
