  1. Community and prosperity. I don't think there's any shortcuts we can take on this one!

  2. Not quite random - predictable, but only at scale Take a coin flip - I can't predict when it will be heads, but I can predict that a heads is a near certainty if you flip a coin ten times. Stochastic describes such patterns - where you can predict something will happen, but not predict the specifics of where or when

  3. Yes - one coin flip isn't stochastic, but if you flip it ten times you can be confident you will gets heads, but can't predict exactly when This predictability at scale, so you know something is very likely to happen, but not the details of exactly where or when, is what stochastic describes

  4. ​ @stevepi1 Lee Anderson's twitter feed and TV interviews are a perfect example. Wave a few non-UK flags and you're a hate march that needs locking up forever, but set fire to a town and it's merely a "legitimate concern being expressed" It's not even slightly subtle
