I can only respond with my favorite line from the entire thing I wrote:

Humans don't want to see as a god sees, we want to be loved as a god loves, to leap into the unknown and be caught in the palm of a divine hand because we are worthy, not infinite.

In other words, I suspect the true joy of gambling is to be weighed on the scales of the universe itself and be found inherently worthy in the process.

Definitely gotta look into this Hume fella. Heard his name before but always assumed he was contemporary 🤦
