"Our brains misperceive evenness as random and wrongly assume that groupings are deliberate because of this people make all sorts of irrational decisions. Like they won't work in a high rise building, or they're afraid to live in an earthquake prone area and yet the mathematical assessment tells us that you are far more likely to suffocate in bed than you are to die in a terrorist attack. You are ten times more likely to die from alcohol than from being in an earthquake. And it is three times more likely that you will be killed while driving to buy a lottery ticket then it is that you will win the lottery."
