I dare to say that everything worthy comes at a price. Quote. Rewards generally require taking risks, and you're not likely to do so if you're convinced the game is rigged. Endquote. And what prevents me from, say, sniffing which way it is rigged? >From the article mentioned in abovementioned article: [ http://psycnet.apa.org/psycinfo/2015-23485-001/ ] "Holding cynical beliefs about others has negative economic outcomes unless such beliefs hold true." Unless cynical beliefs are based on facts. So do they really tell me I should not be cynical except when I am right? :-P What kind of science is this? Scientists got very cynical these days. -- Regards, Tomasz Rola -- ** A C programmer asked whether computer had Buddha's nature. ** ** As the answer, master did "rm -rif" on the programmer's home ** ** directory.
