perhaps many people are secretly buoyed by there being bad luck somewhere, maybe it’s an inevitable product of the comparisons done in the social faculties, the cognitive activity for that sort of work, not universal but not uncommon

casinos are in a sense a reliable stream of bad luck, TV news could be seen as also, and so many things could be seen as

so many things are viewed how you want to see them, and how in that sentence more ideally might involve some thinking, effort, thinking effort, or you could instead borrow some ideas, views, ways, and if the ways are common enough they are probably safe ways, safe ideas, safe views

safe ways puts you in the stream of good luck

perhaps if I removed the glad you’re not parts of your brain it would involve a very substantial lobotomy, if I removed all that you’re glad you’re not, removed the neural structures operating in that territory

does it all start with the I of identity, for there to be an I there may need to be things you’re glad you’re not, and doubtful all the details of that work can be abstracted

you are glad you’re not in the stream of bad luck, glad you’re in the stream of good luck

a reliable flushing toilet is an example of a stream of good luck

you know there are people out there right now with banked up toilets, a dilemma that visits everyone at some time, when the flush doesn’t flush, repeating that operation results in the opposite, and i’m sure there’s a philosophy lesson in that, when is a toilet no longer a toilet

everyone tests their luck when they press flush

so what of a world where there is no bad luck, is it even imaginable, and would it be a failure of imagination to not imagine a world where there is a lot less bad luck, or is it just too hard because to imagine there being a lot less would involve considering a world where there is none, which potentially diminishes I , self, identity

> you are glad you’re not in the stream of bad luck

That is the definition of “humour”.

> a reliable flushing toilet is an example of a stream of good luck. everyone tests their luck when they press flush.

True here. How often do I have to use the toilet brush. Sometimes five in a row.

> when is a toilet no longer a toilet

The philosophy example I use is “when is a chair no longer a chair?”, When has it turned into a rock, or a stool, or firewood, or a modern art sculpture?

> so what of a world where there is no bad luck, is it even imaginable, and would it be a failure of imagination to not imagine a world where there is a lot less bad luck, or is it just too hard because to imagine there being a lot less.

In fantasy fiction, I can think of several unrelated examples where a person is imbued with good luck, nothing they do can fail.

I have never heard of a world where there is no bad luck. It really is difficult to imagine. Intelligent sensitive altruistic politicians for example.
Where all news is good news for example. Where Covid can’t be transmitted from person to person for example.
Where the weather is always good weather for example. Where only things that are good for you are addictive for example.

The possibility is not ruled out by quantum mechanics.

But you can’t help good luck.
