What Goes Around: A Statistical Case for Karma
12 may 2026
Few ideas have endured across cultures quite like karma. Rooted in Hindu philosophy over two thousand years ago, it carried a simple promise: do good, and good will come back to you. Today, that same idea lives on in everyday language, "what goes around comes around." It is a comforting idea, but also a mystical one, as if the universe keeps score. And yet, what if it does not have to be mystical at all, what if the scorekeeper is not the universe, but mathematics?
