ahaha, if you find this weird, let me share with you more stuff which didn’t make sense to me immediately with high dimensional geometry.
>in high dimension, almost everything is almost orthogonal to almost everything else.
you take any two random strangers on earth and let them take a really long quiz. when both score positively on a question or both score negatively, you add points. when they score opposite, you deduct points. in a sufficiently long quiz like this, the points of agreement and disagreement would mostly cancel out for truly random strangers.
>most pairs of points in a high-dimensional cube are at almost the same distance
extending from previous answer - for two random strangers, we can see that "opinion/knowledge twins" would be the ones who score in the same pattern and opposites would be those who score mostly the opposite.
similar to how any two random anons commenting on topics may agree and disagree relatively on topics given sufficiently long list of topics and may find each other statistically aliens in knowledge and perception.
i have tried to think about it in several ways - like infinite lifespan for being one.
in a long enough timeline, the statistical significance for any event tends to zero.
you can say "nothing ever happens" is quite true in this sense.
