I know it is not Jewish I think but Carl Jung’s archetypes are perhaps the most brilliant paradigms ever conceived. I am not sure if they ever will be toppled. Thank you for reading.

The Science of Dating
Now for a somewhat vulgar continuation we will discuss the science of dating i.e. Bayes will be used to model attraction between souls.
Recall that P(a | b) = (P(b | a) * P(a)) / P(b).
Recall that P(a) is the initual probability with regards to the prior.
Thus P(a | b) is the attraction a hypothetical person feels towards her love given that event B has occured.
Cont. P(a) is the initial attraction etc.
Cont. P(b | a) is the updated attraction.
And P(b) = P(b | a)*P(a) + P(b | !a)*P(!a) which models the probability of event B occuring regardless of event a viz. the person being attracted to her with a degree of belief.
But here is the conondrum that it is not possible to know whether person n+1 makes her decisions in time or based on logic.

On hope
Todays study will go into a phenomenon that is increasingly getting the attention of college professors viz. hope. Hope is a non-trivial topic to discuss since it relates to people’s expectations or ambitions and it is used in religious contexts.
Approaching hope from the perspectives of religious non-controllable players it follows that hope is a state of wellbeing as expressed through a linear interaction between the anima and the necessary being.
I.e. one can imagine attitudes of people who deny the existence of the necessary being as being miserable in their rejection of both logic and the imaginalis mundis. Hope in this worldview seems no different from states vis-a-vis time.
Denying the existence of the necessary being would be as denying the existence of time however denying hope seems to deny the existence of improvement alltogether.
