[50 books in 2013] 17. The Signal and the Noise by Nate Silver  → completed 4/20

Precise forecasts masquerade as accurate ones, and some of us get fooled and double-down our bets. It’s exactly when we think we have overcome the flaws in our judgment that something as powerful as the American economy can be brought to a screeching halt.

He held out his hands, watched them tremble minutely. Then he looked up at Eddie. His face was tired but unafraid. “I have never been so close. I hear all my lost friends and their lost friends and their lost fathers whispering to me. They whisper on the Tower’s very breath.”

All of this had been rain. It’s been rain for twenty years, and everyone was looking at the raindrops falling while all of these people have been moving invisibly. They weren’t even traveling through streets we’d recognize. And the rain was so heavy, all over the city, that no one ever looked down and saw the footprints filling with water. I’m starting to see the shape of them now. I just need to be able to see the maps.

But rituals turn us all into fucking idiots. Like those birds that sleep with their heads facing backwards because their ancestors slept with their heads under their wings. Plutarch says carrying new wives across thresholds is stupid because we don’t remember that it refers to the rape of the Sabine women – and that’s fucking Plutarch, two thousand years ago. We still draw the reaper with a scythe. We should draw him driving a John Deere for Archer Daniels Midland.
