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.

He updates the whiteboard from -113% to -197% and has a conversation with Lewis about how “it’s possible that we are in a completely fraudulent system.”

“Or … you’re wrong.”

“Sure. It’s possible I’m wrong. I just don’t know how. I guess when someone’s wrong, they never… they never know how.”

(He was not wrong.)

Rage Against The Machine performs "Killing In The Name" live at PinkPop Festival, 1993.

Zack was 23 here. Imagine performing in front of a crowd that large at that age. Mindblowing.

"because someone should be better at the drums than I am. And someone else doing complicated chord structure. The frustration that you're feeling is not in the reality of doing both but the perception that I'm always fighting that The Voidz is me alone" 2/3

[junovas @junovas]

"But the irony is that with The Strokes songs, I was on my own. Those demos I did all by myself. They sound very close to the record. And then The Voidz, my dream has always been to just work on harmony, melody, and then someone else writing the drum beats"(1/3)
