Randomness and adaption

Randomness- Something that has no predictable result (life). You think something is going to happen in the future and the opposite happens. Then you adapt to that outcome and your memory forgets the illusion before the event happens.
Everyday is filled with randomness and adaption

predictable randomness

A random event such as a coin toss becomes predictable when repeated on a large scale I.e.
1 million coin tosses will result in a more predictable outcome , we can say with confidence (unless the coin is corrupt)
that there would be an essentially equal number of heads and tails!
Though I can not predict the outcome of a single coin toss with better than a 50/50 (50%) accuracy, predictable randomness allows me to confidently predict the outcome of a million coin tosses with a 99+% accuracy.

Fooled by Randomness Theory

The theory, from Taleb's book of the same name, that humans systematically misinterpret random events, seeing patterns where none exist and attributing skill to luck. Fooled by Randomness Theory argues that we are narrative creatures, wired to find stories in noise, to see causes where there are only correlations, to believe we understand what is actually random. Successful traders are often just lucky, not skilled; failed entrepreneurs are often just unlucky, not incompetent. The theory explains why we overestimate our ability to predict, why we trust experts who are actually random, why we build theories on statistical flukes. It's the foundation of skepticism about success stories, about "genius" CEOs, about anyone whose track record could be explained by chance. The theory doesn't deny skill; it insists on distinguishing skill from luckโ€”and shows how bad we are at that distinction.
Example: "The hedge fund manager had ten years of brilliant returns. Fooled by Randomness Theory asked: could this happen by chance? The math said yesโ€”a few funds will always be lucky by pure randomness. The manager was celebrated as a genius until the next ten years revealed the truth: he'd been lucky, not skilled. His investors had been fooled by randomness."
