Numbers, Percentage and the big picture

Given a large enough sample, all possibilities will be represented. So it is with the human population. Lets take the “good” and “bad” of the population. Percentage wise, the numbers don’t change but when applied to a growing population, the actual number of individuals increases for each category. Then, within each category, there is a range: “very good” to “just not bad” and “just not good” to “very bad”. As it turns out, the extreme ends of these (“very good” and “very bad”) have the ability to impact many others; given tools to amplify their impact, they can be a significant influence on the lives of those within their realm of control. Without reasonable controls in place to steer the application of those amplification mediums, the big picture can look pretty bleak.
