Predict my next sentence. Predict my eye movements. Predict my bowel movements. Predict when one of the oxygen molecules in my lungs are being dislodged from a hemoglobin molecule. Predict the next new technology. Predict when the next car crash will happen. Predict who is the next person to die on earth.

Only Two-Thirds Of American Millennials Believe The Earth Is Round

The odds of winning a recent Powerball jackpot were 1 in 290 million. This means you were more likely to be killed by a vending machine (1 in 112 million), have identical quadruplets (1 in 15 million), and become a movie star (1 in 1.5 million)

Examples; word usage, price's law of productivity, city population distributions, chess moves, words in books, lyrics, "hooks," choruses, and logarithmic scales. The strange thing is that this holds for ALL languages.

All I did was add some information to the nature of the statistics you posted. If you care about properly understanding statistics, you should appreciate that. Was I wrong? Is that why you're so upset?

You're not wrong, you're just a whiny, nitpicking extremist, all things detrimental for success, hence why you have posted 10+ times in this thread:
Learned nothing
Posted zero stats

But lets keep talking, maybe I can bring you to nirvana or maybe you'll drag me down to dumbvana, lets see

You learned the limitations of statistics. That's more important than knowing any specific statistic.

Also to what degree can you predict that? Could you pinpoint the exact microsecond when I decide to not watch the TV show anymore?
