It might seem rather similar to ‘le sens obtuse’, however in actuality it is similar as a form of inversion: whilst ‘le sens obtuse’ clearly states certain degree of critical deliberation put into creation of the scene/moment despite discerning the meaning is a hard-to-impossible task logical noise is an opposite, in which logical deliberation was deliberately put into process with little to no meaning, an analogue, of sorts, of surrealism or Dadaism. However, in this particular case what happened could just be called logical noise: we can totally see the logic behind pairing which happened naturally within the popular culture, however actual analytical elements were almost totally out of the process. Retroactive pairing of the song with the footage of Barack Obama might strengthen the allusion, as well as confirmation bias regarding prediction. Could it be considered as a legitimate prediction of first ever African-American President of the United States, given that as far as 1992 it had an African-American rapper portray POTUS vocally?

Pierce’s book: it was also several years late and it also had a mistranslated title which replaces ‘the impact of highly improbable’ with zodiacal, fatalist and sensationalist ‘under the sign of unpredictability’. It is interesting to pinpoint a similarity with which Taleb’s book arrived in Russian-speaking region, very much reminiscent of 1967 case of J.R. At times controversial, such models were at times rather controversial (Callahan, 2008), but overall found steady following in wide circles. When it comes to prediction, two recent works are still dominating public consciousness: Nassim Nicholas Taleb’s The Black Swan: the impact of the highly improbable (2007), as well as Nate Silver’s The signal and the noise: Why so many predictions fail, but some don’t (2012) reshaped the common opinion that predictions are either blind guesses or highly complicated analytics, providing new and improved models of how predictions work.
