When a crowd of humans sing it always sounds beautiful. The imperfections in our individual voices blend into perfection.

[@MannyXVIII]

it seems to be a weird quick of mathematics, too. I bet the errors in tone across this audience is approaching a gaussian distribution. Same happens if you ask enough people to guess the number of things in a jar. Any individual answer is unlikely to be spot on, but the mean is approaching the truth rapidly with increased data points. Likewise it is excedingly hard to know what an individual is doing, but a group of people is very much predictable. As an example for the latter. When moving while having a conversation, groups of at least 4 people tend to move in an inversed u formation while reducing their movement speed down from 4.5 kph by 17% with almost 100% accuracy.

We moved there in the first week of July, 1969. It’s a rural town where everybody knows everybody, so we thought nothing much about eating at the restaurant where they were eating, or seeing one of them at the grocery store. But, amazingly enough, although I loved David Bowie, it wasn’t until recently that I finally put the two together. Or, maybe I did know, but ever since my son died (Covid complications) earlier this year, my memory has been messing up a lot. But, anyway I really love this song!
