Taking a Position on Anything

The risk (and the reward) involved.

If you take a position on anything, Nature sees it like this:

Your Position
Nature’s Position

This is because Nature cannot distinguish between X and Y. Because X and Y are 0 and 1 (circumference and diameter).

X
Y

This explains why, half-the-time, if you take a position, you will be correct, and you will ‘win,’ if your position is a win-loss proposition.

And, also, then, half-the-time, if you take a position, you will be incorrect, and you will lose, if your position is a win-loss proposition.

Win-Lose

This means, if you understand the diagram, you cannot lose, no matter what position you take.

Win
Lose

Everybody ‘gets’ this. Explaining why, no matter what position you take, Nature doesn’t see it as a position.

Nature sees it as half of a whole position. Where Nature cannot distinguish between half and whole.

Half and Whole
Half
Whole

This is why the best (and only) odds are 50–50. Where you always win half-the-time, no matter what you do.

Take your time with this. And, think it through.

Conservation of the Circle is the core, and, therefore, the only dynamic in Nature. Making winners (and losers) out of all of us. A matter of perception.
