@BenonKigenyi@GovUganda So what are the operational challenges @BenonKigenyi? Why are you reporting like a journalist and not as an accountable officer?
@KwikirizaNova Why dont they send prisoners convicted of capital offences eg murder. Give them a chance to earn their freedom and decongest the prisons. @cdfupdf@PoliceUg@UgandaPrisons
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.
@feziledhlamini_ @InshallahSZN@IDCSouthAfrica As a founder, one shouldnt be reliant on Grants. In as much as you didnt get the grant funding you wanted, with the traction that youve made, you can attain VC funding. Theres lots of money in the world. If only you invested half of all that energy over the years to apply to VCs
