That’s how I used the term. YC experiences the ensemble average, while individuals are unable to realize their expected value because they only have one lifetime.
- pdonis 3y ago> YC experiences the ensemble average Which could be equal to the time average, and thereby satisfy the definition of "ergodic" that was given, without in any way contradicting this: > while individuals are unable to realize their expected value because they only have one lifetime. I am not disputing that this happens. I am only disputing the use of the term "non-ergodic" to describe it, or the term "ergodic" to describe a hypothetical world where every individual experienced exactly the average outcome.
