Trigger had run into some of the odd-ball missionaries the Devagas kept sending about the Hub; and she'd sometimes speculated curiously regarding the leaders of that chronically angry, unpredictable nation which, on its twenty-eight restricted worlds, formed more than six percent of the population of the Hub. The Devagas seemed to like nobody; and certainly nobody liked them.
There are general principles at work in it, and these can be formulated in "rules," which rules can be systematised or unified. It is all-important to remember that practical or moral rules are only general and always admit of exceptions, and that they arise not from the mere complexity of the facts, but from the liability of the facts to a certain unpredictable variation.
Plato admitted an invincible Erratic necessity; Aristotle introduced Chance and Spontaneity; Democritus multiplied indefinitely the varieties of atomic movements. The hypothetical deflexion alleged by Epicurus was his way, not more unwarranted than the others, of providing a fundamental principle for the unpredictable phenomena of the universe.
Suffice it to say that out of the turmoil and tribulations of these “latter years” opportunities undreamt of will be born, and circumstances unpredictable created, that will enable, nay impel, the victorious prosecutors of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá’s Plan, to add, through the part they will play in the unrolling of the New World Order, fresh laurels to the crown of their servitude to the threshold of Bahá’u’lláh.
People like Nikky Gratham and Tobbin of Nergal and the Everrards of Hoth get nervous around unpredictable dangers, and when they get nervous they get trigger-happy." He puffed slowly on his pipe and then said: "Then you'll be going back to Gram." "That doesn't follow; just because Valkanhayn and Ravallo and that crowd are wrong doesn't make Valpry and Rathmore and Ffayle right.
Totally unpredictable, with alternating periods of complete idiocy and high intelligence?" "Not totally unpredictable." "Oh?" "At least three things suggest a pattern. One is that his relapses, though erratic, are becoming ever shorter in duration and more widely separated." "Yes, they are infrequent now and quickly ended."
With a mad imprecision of timing, mountain-ranges plummeted out of the sky at utterly unpredictable times and places. Anywhere on Earth, at night-time, living creatures might look upward and see the stars blotted out in irregularly-shaped, swiftly enlarging areas which would grow until there was only blackness overhead. But that could not last.
"I don't dare give you any drugs, even ones as simple as a fungicide or antibiotic, because they're like painkillers too unpredictable on stingweed cases. I don't have either the equipment or the skill to monitor you, or take corrective action if you should have a bad reaction, and I sure don't want to make things worse.
Moreover, people's preferences, as evidenced by their choices and decisions in carefully controlled experiments, are inconsistent. This makes most people both irrational and unpredictable. Either one cannot design an experiment to rigorously and validly test theorems and conjectures in economics or something is very flawed with the intellectual pillars and models of this field.
"For in a mound of this size there must be many paths leading to the upper world, and there is no reason with the omnipotent ruling brain dead and eaten why any of these creatures should try to stop or fight us." Which was good logic but which left entirely out of consideration that one factor which man so often forgets but is still inevitably governed by: the unpredictable whims of fate.
