Why Are Famous Mathematicians Not The Richest Gamblers? Tyler Ashcroft Picture the scene: Galileo, a true polymath and titan of science, sits in Monte Carlo, that most glamorous of gambling venues. But today, he isn't contemplating the spinning of the planets. Instead, his gaze is concentrated on a smaller spinning object: a roulette wheel.Ok, it's an unlikely scenario, but there's a real question here. Let's put it another way: if gaming is all about probability, why aren't all mathematicians insanely wealthy? There are plenty of theories as to why expertize in math doesn't necessarily make for gambling riches, but here are three possibilities: firstly, we might – just might – win big at the casino, but we can't escape our psychology. Secondly, it takes money to make money. And sometimes – just sometimes – there are more important things than cash.Read the whole article here: https://casinovalley.ca/facts/why-famous-mathematicians-not-the-richest-gamblers/ Spinning-Wheel Stories Louisa May Alcott A group of stories-within-a-story, told in the classic Louisa May Alcott style."I've a little cold," said the old lady, "and am too hoarse for talking, my dears; but Aunt Elinor has looked up a parcel of old tales that I've told her at different times and which she has written down. You will like to hear her reading better than my dull way of telling them, and I can help Minnie and Lotty with their work, for I see they are bent on learning to spin."The young folk were well pleased with grandma's proposal; for Aunt Nell was a favorite with all, being lively and kind and fond of children, and the only maiden aunt in the family. Now, she smilingly produced a faded old portfolio, and, turning over a little pile of manuscripts, said in her pleasant way:"Here are all sorts, picked up in my travels at home and abroad; and in order to suit all of you, I have put the names on slips of paper into this basket, and each can draw one in turn. Does that please my dis The Introvert 360 Podcast Rebecca Anderson / Kari White The Introvert 360 is a podcast that circles around the things that matter most to introverts.

Truant **A Bite-Sized Podcast that Teaches You to See and Use the Creative Inspiration That's Already Around You** Trouble with the muse? Believe me, I get it. Even after 120 books and a show on Hulu, I have as much trouble “finding the magic” as anyone. But the truth is, you don’t need to seek inspiration because it’s already all around you … if you know how to see it. Each 10-minute episode of “The Art of Noticing” contains two parts: something small and almost random I noticed around me, then a creative lesson I made from it, like spinning gold from straw. Whether it’s something in the news, the rhythm of rain against the window, a bit of trivia, word from a friend, or some small tidbit I picked up somewhere, anything can be creative fuel if you can learn to see what’s in front of you. Nothing is ordinary. Everything is art! /// Find show notes, transcriptions, and multi-weekly blog posts at https://www.johnnybtruant.com <a href="https://johnnybtruant.substack.com/s/the-art-of-no
