There's a physicist at Stanford named Safi Bahcall who modeled this exact principle and the math is wild.
He calls it "phase transitions in human networks." When you're stationary, your probability of a lucky event is limited to your existing surface area: the people you already know, the places you already go, the ideas you've already been exposed to. Your opportunity window is fixed.
When you move, your collision rate with new nodes in a network increases nonlinearly. Double your movement (new conversations, new cities, new projects) and your probability of a serendipitous encounter doesn't double. It roughly quadruples. Because each new node connects you to their entire network, not just to them.
Richard Wiseman ran a 10-year study at the University of Hertfordshire tracking self-described "lucky" and "unlucky" people. The single biggest differentiator wasn't IQ, education, or family money. Lucky people scored significantly higher on one trait: openness to experience. They talked to strangers more, varied their routines more, and said yes to invitations at nearly twice the rate.
The "unlucky" group followed the same routes, ate at the same restaurants, and talked to the same 5 people. Their networks were closed loops. No new inputs, no new collisions.
Luck isn't random. Luck is surface area. And surface area is a function of movement.
The lobster emoji is doing more work than most people realize. Lobsters grow by shedding their shell when it gets too tight. The growth requires a period of total vulnerability. No protection, no armor, soft body exposed to the ocean.
That's the cost of movement nobody posts about. You have to be uncomfortable first. The new shell only hardens after you've already moved.
@SolLunix Trust. Iโve lost and been drained of over 500,000 the past 8/9 years
Now Iโve got nada, severely depressing
Seeing people kill themselves after a lot less loss
The worst thing spending all those years trading researching I have built no viable job market skills
@BerkMeats Berks do you hold ehex on the eth side or through pulseX on Pulsechain
Will prices reflect on both networks? or is it worth bridging over eHex now to get ready ๐ค
@BerkMeats Bonded liquidity with ETH / ERC20 pairs, yeat asynchronous price action..
Looks like we might be seeing asymmetrical movements very soon.
eHex being the catalyst is the only thing that makes sense haha (btw it only cost me $2 to end my stake today ๐)
