Review as Read 44: DUCY? by David Sklansky, Alan Schoonmaker

(Click on the Picture above for the linked Video described below)

Link to my 'What is Good Evidence?' Video: http://youtu.be/1G91rNmF0Ws

This time I review DUCY? by David Sklansky and Alan Schoonmaker. This book emphasizes that problems should be solved by logic, math and practicality than the standard wholesale "believe in yourself" or "positive attitude" of other such books on said topic. 

Hope you and enjoy and till next word.

The practical friendship is probably a more sincere one


Two and a half weeks ago, I met the person I trust most in my short life (Universal comparison) and got to learn that I am very bad at keeping in contact with people, of which I agree and will continue to dwell on. When I worked in the Casino, I met drinking friends a lot. Then I played poker, I met poker players all the time and now I play boardgames and I meet them all the time. Each time I am told by more trusted sources I neglect people, especially from past activities and probably will end up very lonely or won't be able to find help when I need it, of which I also agree. I cannot imagine many that will bemoan my passing but the above mentioned situation keeps to my personal philosophies and I am contented with both the up and downsides of meeting only when both are agreeable or have common cause. There are for example persons who I think are good people at heart but have no common current hobbies, interest topics or grounds on what constitutes good evidence in a debate. So I see no compelling reason to meet on obligation only to get bored or anger one another.

As the quotes below states, if we are agreeable, we will stay life-long friends if not someone who keeps one around only for personal gain will come looking whether they are friends or not. Thus I see no need for a complete change in policy.

(Quotes from Hard Truths by Lee Kuan Yew and to his detractors. Even if it was Joseph Stalin, I would still say a good point in context is still a good point regardless of whether the source is agreeable to oneself or not.)
