You Should Be Ten People in One

I think a fully formed person should be ten people in one.

The Citizen. The Logician. The Philosopher. The Adventurer. The Lover. The Protector. The Scientist. The Artist. The Warrior. And somewhere among them, the one who decides who should speak.

The mistake we make is thinking that maturity means becoming one consistent person with one coherent philosophy applied across every part of life.

We use coin flips as the almost universal example of randomness.

Heads or tails. 50/50.

Need to make a decision? Flip a coin.

Need to explain probability to a kid? Flip a coin.

Need a source of randomness? Well… flip a coin.

Except I’ve been thinking about this lately:

Is a coin flip actually random?

I had a Samsung Galaxy A71 5G lying around.

It’s not particularly new. It’s not particularly valuable. And, before I factory-reset it, Samsung had been periodically warning me that its battery was deteriorating.

After the factory reset, however, the warning disappeared.

Which made me curious.

Had the battery magically healed itself?

Obviously not.

So I started poking around.

My original plan was extremely reasonable:

Check the actual battery health and see how much life the internal flash storage has left.
