      That kinda makes worrying about anything sound really dumb, doesn’t it?

        But you’ll worry anyway, as your anxiety is a product of your biochemistry, which is governed by deterministic processes.

        First of all is determinism not proven and may be/get disproven by quantum mechanics.

        Second of all it also validates your suffering because it’s seen as a determined thing to happen so that may give you some solice.

          I recommend taking a look at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elbow_Room_(Dennett_book)?wprov=sfla1

      Dust fills my eyes
      Clouds roll by and I roll with them
      Centuries cry
      Orders fly and I fall again

      Taking ALL of the paths was never really an option though. Celebrate all the new paths that opened because of the one you chose instead of dwelling on the ones you didn’t.

    You can’t change what has already happened. Learn from it, analyze it, but don’t dwell on it for too long.

    There is always a tomorrow. The feelings of today don’t have to influence the feelings of tomorrow, next week, or next month.

    Cool. So can you offer me a job? I’ll do anything as long as I can afford to take care of my family.

        ELI5:

        Imagine some sort of a polynomial function f(x) = r * x * (1-x) that is also depending on some constant r in range 0 < r < 1.

        You apply x = f(x) for many times, at your wish. Think of it as a for-loop, or f(f(f(…f(f(x))…))). The resulting value will reside (converge) to some value.

        So, this looped function sets to some stable point with any r in range until x < 3. After that, it doesn’t converge but it will constantly jump between one of 2 points, then 4, 8, … and at some point it goes wacky-macky.

        The graph from Wikipedia merely shows the probability of the value f(f(f(...f(f(x))...))) for all r in the given range.

        If you’re curious, Veritasium’s made a good explanation here: https://youtu.be/ovJcsL7vyrk
