Note the link with 592. Halfhat (talk) 11:41, 28 August 2015 (UTC)

The link to 592 is tenuous at best, and is certainly no foreshadow of this comic. Please stop making up connections just be cause it makes the xkcd "universe" loop back to itself. This is clearly related to the events of the past week, August 24-28 2015. This should be included as future readers will not realize the publication date and its significance.173.245.56.140 14:42, 28 August 2015 (UTC)

Despite all the numbers around it, stock market is actually made of PEOPLE. -- Hkmaly (talk) 12:18, 28 August 2015 (UTC)

But, but... if the universe is made of math... and people are part of the universe... aren't people made of numbers? 188.114.98.214 14:02, 28 August 2015 (UTC)
But that just shifts the fallacy: math is (a lot) more than numbers, and Cueball doesn't have access to most of the numbers describing the world's investors anyway. 108.162.216.157 14:04, 28 August 2015 (UTC)
And even if something is completely described by numbers, it doesn't necessarily have to be predictable. 'Chaos' teaches us this.--108.162.229.210 14:15, 28 August 2015 (UTC)
