On: We have no idea what happens next

[darsoli]

Ah, to write a whole article about a known concept without giving it due service. Methinks "The butterfly effect" deserves a mention.

[thotsBgone → darsoli]

I think it's a bit different than the butterfly effect. When a major event affects everyone somewhat, it's like billions of chances for a butterfly effect all happening simultaneously. An aggregate butterfly effect where major change is practically guaranteed.
