There are thoughts and ideas in life and in theory that leave our mind in a mess and on a Tuesday morning leave us thinking it’s the Wednesday before Christmas. I hope to bring some of these to you and leave you with little to say (maybe) and much to think about.
Don’t say I didn’t warn you!
The Threshold Problem
Let’s consider for a moment some sugar, for the sake of being thorough someone is taking a grain at a time and putting it each grain next to each other forming a group. One by one the grains increase and eventually a pile of sugar is created.
When one grain is put down that is a grain of sugar, another is 2, the next three until we have a pile.
My question is this – at what point does the mass of grains become what one would call a ‘pile’ of sugar?

I think my favorite version of this was in Star Trek: Insurrection. There was a bad thing about to happen, but it was going to affect only a few hundred colonists. The one admiral says it’s not a big deal because only a few hundred people will be hurt, and Picard says something like “And how many does it take before it becomes wrong?”

Definition of pile (Entry 4 of 6)
