ANECDOTE

Predicted Meeting With Pamela

  • Thomas Campbell recounts being told at 14 that he'd meet Pamela at 35 and it happened as predicted decades later.
  • He describes system 'nudges' that guided both of them into the same job and place, producing the meeting.
INSIGHT

High Probability vs Determinism

  • High-probability future events can appear deterministic because the system has extra information.
  • Probabilities can be very close to one without eliminating free will in a virtual reality.
ADVICE

Trust Intuitive Nudges

  • When you receive an intuitive 'nudge,' trust it and act instead of arguing or rationalizing.
  • Campbell warns 'when the system tells you to duck, you shouldn't start a discussion of why. You should just duck.'
