Data and feelings don't always tell the same story, and it often didn't in the Calgary rezoning hearing, writes Serene Yew in the latest LWC Perspectives piece. And yes, there's data. Lots of it. #yyc #yyccc #calgary buff.ly/6hU6x9Z

There's a physicist at Stanford named Safi Bahcall who modeled this exact principle and the math is wild. He calls it "phase transitions in human networks." When you're stationary, your probability of a lucky event is limited to your existing surface area: the people you already know, the places you already go, the ideas you've already been exposed to. Your opportunity window is fixed. When you move, your collision rate with new nodes in a network increases nonlinearly. Double your movement (new conversations, new cities, new projects) and your probability of a serendipitous encounter doesn't double. It roughly quadruples. Because each new node connects you to their entire network, not just to them. Richard Wiseman ran a 10-year study at the University of Hertfordshire tracking self-described "lucky" and "unlucky" people. The single biggest differentiator wasn't IQ, education, or family money. Lucky people scored significantly higher on one trait: openness to experience. They talked to strangers more, varied their routines more, and said yes to invitations at nearly twice the rate. The "unlucky" group followed the same routes, ate at the same restaurants, and talked to the same 5 people. Their networks were closed loops. No new inputs, no new collisions. Luck isn't random. Luck is surface area. And surface area is a function of movement. The lobster emoji is doing more work than most people realize. Lobsters grow by shedding their shell when it gets too tight. The growth requires a period of total vulnerability. No protection, no armor, soft body exposed to the ocean. That's the cost of movement nobody posts about. You have to be uncomfortable first. The new shell only hardens after you've already moved.

Don’t EVER let any UCP MLAs use OECD data from 2022 PISA tests to try to pretend that Alberta’s education hasn’t already crumbled under their governance without also asking them what the OECD 2024 TALIS test determined about teachers’ working conditions. #abpoli #abed #cdnpoli

“We don’t like being used! It’s not about Poilievre or me. It’s about a voice for my neighbours in Battleriver-Crowfoot! I want to do this as much as I wanted to go to Afghanistan and get shot at but I can’t sit idle when I see injustice!” #Cndpoli #AB youtu.be/Xuk_zIVax8g?si=Fhsv…

Looks like the AB gov is coming around on bike lanes!!! Or they are gaslighting themselves.

This is what we should expect from our candidates... long form explanations of policy direction. Seems more mature than silly slogans.

Another season of @TransAlta messing with their own water schedule for the Kananaskis river leaving our @ab_whitewater kids high and dry. Their 5pm scheduled practice was delayed until dusk because TransAlta doesn’t care about river users in their own provincial park.@YourAlberta
