Is this a paradox or am I stupid? 1. The odds of a subsequence of events varying from expected frequencies of a larger sequence increases as the bigger sequence approaches infinity. 2. Induction assumes a persistent sequence 3. As lindy-ness increases, it becomes self-refuting

something unlikely being more likely to happen at some point does not mean it is more likely to happen at the particular point we happen to be in

No, but the jump from finite to infinite makes the unlikely event jump from epsilon to infinitely likely. Or maybe this is some weird Bayesian vs Frequentist thing? I don't really understand probability, this is just my intuition.
