equations.

Statistics. I've never been particularly skilled at the subject. In fact I remember my classes pretty well. 8 AM, crazy professor who couldn't quite explain what statistics was without a book definition, lots of broken chalk due to a crazy hand grip and writing method. Great memories. Statistics however takes the least mathematic of subjects, humans, and crams them into formulas.

Bell curves and histograms and bar graphs and deviations. Simple representations of grandiose complex beings. How does it work? How can we reduce creatures into formulas?

Life isn't that simple. Actions and behaviors can't always translate into finite equations. Its not bad to make simple models, to try to predict behaviors, but we cannot boil down the experience of a lifetime into a standard formula.  There's too many variables. Slowly culture is standardizing variables to make one correct answer.

There is not one correct answer. We are not a collective whole. Everybody has a different conclusion, and experience is all about finding them.

I'm looking for mine. And I don't need a calculator.
