Brokebot Mountain fans will recognize their hosts Kari Simms, David Luzader, and Phil Rood with today’s special guest Brandon Cruz, from the Apathetic Enthusiasm Podcast.

The mistaken belief that, if something happens more frequently than normal during some period, it will happen less frequently in the future. This is called The Gambler’s Fallacy.  

If something happens less frequently than normal during some period, it will happen more frequently in the future (presumably as a means of balancing nature).

In situations where what is being observed is truly random, though appealing to the human mind:  is false.

This fallacy can arise in many practical situations.  It is most strongly associated with gambling where such mistakes are common among players.

In HBO’s Westworld season finale, ‘The Bicameral Mind‘ Ford unveils his bold new narrative; Dolores embraces her identity; Maeve sets her plan in motion.

is a hypothesis in psychology that argues that the human mind once assumed a state in which cognitive functions were divided between one part of the brain which appears to be “speaking”, and a second part which listens and obeys—a bicameral mind. The term was coined by Julian Jaynes, who presented the idea in his 1976 book “The Origin of Consciousness” in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind, wherein he made the case that a bicameral mentality was the normal and ubiquitous state of the human mind as recently as 3000 years ago.
