Is every choice a bet ?

Friday 04 of July 2025

I took a swim, on a strawberry pool float, recently. I had some thoughts about life and a question come through me : "How older generation imagine the future ?".

It's for sure that somehow, someone think about a mechanism without actually guessing the real shape and how it took place in the society. For example, I'm sure that some people think that phones will be "portable" without guessing that today we can use it to pay, make video or track you.

So when I philosophize on a subject, It's a "bet" about the future.

I'm not a gambler. But now, an everyday choice can sound like "Is it a good idea to bet on this ?" or "It's a good bet ?".

For example, if I buy a house, I "bet" on our society to not collapse and lose my house because only the law offer me a (little) guarantee to "own" the house. It's a bet because I can't do anything about it. And I hope that everything will be fine.
