courting danger and driven to foolish heights for some
genetics enable calculated risks
proving that dopamine minds
mostly roll the dice
why tempt fate
Freud’s finds
slips of the tongue misstatements reveal underlying
thoughts the unconscious has drives as do chipped disks
disciplined by providence
warns those to think twice
why tempt fate
surely
we’re aware that one thought linked strangely to another
a concatenation of circumstances
or cursed synthetic lifes bet
is doomed destiny
why tempt fate
if set

Calvinist believe there is nothing we can do to alter our God determined faith. Those contradictions make fatalists necrotic. Science-based theories, that we simulate computer chips, hence my analogy with the McIntosh Apple! (Apple computers)

A very important question: why tempt fate. Both Adam and Eve learned a nasty lesson.
