If you flip a coin 99 times and it lands on heads every single time, what are the odds it's heads on the 100th flip?
Most people say 50/50. And they're not entirely wrong, for that single flip. But my brain immediately goes to: that coin is rigged. Or I'm in the Matrix. Because how often do we actually question the premise? The probability of 99 heads in a row is so astronomically small, it changes everything. Makes you wonder what other 'givens' we should be looking at closer.
