Probabilistic thinking in finance is an example of the Sapir-Whorf Hypothesis. 
Only saw this now.
I wonder how the Hopi tribe of Arizona would view first hitting time seeing that they have no words for time, past, present or future.
Sounds like an excellent place to take out a 20-year loan!
I’ll go out on a limb and guess that “loan” is also missing from their vocabulary.

And short-selling. "tomorrow is another day" has no meaning.

I will guess their vocabulary is growing rapidly: Another tribe to install a casino

Could be. He had 6 casino bankruptcies, so perhaps if they buy any used slots ...

Somehow, “Trump” and “used sluts” go together like horse and carriage.
