The phrase "a throw of the dice will never abolish chance" comes from Stéphane Mallarmé's poem "Un Coup de Dés Jamais N'Abolira Le Hasard"(A Throw of the Dice Will Never Abolish Chance).

It signifies that while chance can be a catalyst or inspiration, it cannot be eliminated or controlled, even in artistic creation or the unfolding of life itself.

Here's a more detailed breakdown:

Chance as a Creative Force: Mallarmé uses the "throw of the dice" to represent chance, randomness, and the unpredictable nature of existence.

Inability to Eradicate Chance: The poem argues that even with deliberate effort (like a throw of the dice), one cannot fully overcome or abolish the influence of chance.

Poetic Struggle:

In the context of the poem, this struggle to control or eliminate chance reflects the poet's attempt to capture the absolute in language, which he ultimately finds impossible according to https://www.ebsco.com/research-starters/history/dice-throw-s....

Modernist Significance: This idea, along with the poem's innovative typography, made it a foundational work for modernist poetry, emphasizing the limitations of human control and the power of chance in both art and life.

Beyond the Literal: The phrase is not just about literal dice or a game of chance, but a metaphor for the human condition and the inherent uncertainties of existence.

Took from AI. Blasphemy

Thanks bryanrasmussen. We can all relate. But how can one live a happy life when chance(good luck/bad lucl) play such an important role (path dependence)? . Anyway love the poem style, look and fell like modern HTML.

p.s. We hack/programmers "do not" take yourselves so seriously, It all chance, maybe. Thank Yoy


60 year old. still having trouble with math. Thank for this topic and both simple pdf.


I post this link to ask the question did Daniel Kahneman wrote the book Thinking Fast and Slow to get the information out to level the playing field or to create a balance of power? He did mention he hope readers do not abuse the information presented. Skinner felt his ideas was abuse.
