Survivorship bias is potentially misleading on so many levels.

But much can be gleaned by investigating motives; which runs the gamut of all human desires and tragic foibles.

From the simple "bragging rights" of the new kid on the block wanting some "Street Cred"; to the ex-pat in Asia seeking to garner more social mileage on the dating scene, the seduction of survivorship bias always comes into play.

In the negative extreme, it's not uncommon for survivorship bias to play a pivotal role in an elaborate scheme to ensure that "the house always wins".

Sadly, human nature being what it is, survivorship bias is destined to be eternally part of our DNA; remaining with us long after we've uploaded our total being into that ultimate web of all multiverses.

And guess what?

We will likely still be taking our non-physical selves to psychically simulate standing in line to buy a lottery ticket.

Imagine that?

Namaste,
