/sci/ - Science & Math

I'm genetically a descendant of Plato. I'm gifted in physics, mathematics, linguistics, and music (accepted to Julliard for piano; opted to go to MIT)
I'm considered "Mensa material" by many professors, though I've never taken an official test. My question to you all is: how do you live your knowledge deprived lives so happily knowing that you'll never amount to someone like me?

I have a theory about statistics and everyone I've ever told it too just tells me I'm wrong and refuses to actually form a coherent argument why it's wrong.
So I come you gentlemen.
here we go;
Okay, so you have your friends right?
Now before you met any of these people, if you cracked open a country-wide phonebook and picked a name at random, odds are good that you would not of picked one of your friends. If I opened the phone book today and picked a name, not going out of my way to meet them, I probably never would. But none the less you have met these people, against the odds you are friends with the people you had a very slim chance of picking.
>Here's were the disagreement starts.
Okay, so now I'll take the same principle and apply it to the lottery.
The odds of me picking the winning numbers are very slim. So by not actively picking my lottery numbers, my chances of winning should increase. Just like how I bested the odd of meeting one individual by not trying to meet them specifically.
How does this not make sense to anyone else?
