  • Infinite doesn’t mean everything. Infinite can include a repeating pattern, even a huge repeating pattern which seems random at first. Not everything you could possibly imagine would necessarily have to exist in the multiverse.

    And even if infinite and perfectly random, some things may just not be feasible and just not exist.





  • Why the confusion?

    If its the term race, that is what the original cancer.gov chart uses “raxe/ethnicity”. It’s not a term used in UK where I’m from - ethnicity is used - so I do find it odd from that viewpoint.

    But Race/ethnicity is a very important health metric as different ethnicities have different risk levels for diseases, and it’s also an important way of checking for health inequalities.

    For example the graph could be read as showing that young white and Asian women are at higher risk of breast cancer. Or it could be read that young black and Hispanic women with cancer are not being picked up early when young. Or many other interpretations. It’s very important data to collect and present in the health realm.
