[David Sklansky]

"Many people who don't think as logically as you live happy, productive, satisfyng, generous lives"

Don't think as logically as me, or think as illogically as an astrology devotee? Not quite the same thing. The people who actually think very illogically are much less apt to lead happy, productive, satisfying, generous lives. Because they are constantly faced with decisions in their life. And if you aren't logical you are much more apt to screw up when making decisions to reach your goals, whatever they may be.

Those who do pull off a measure of success can thank their lucky stars they live in a country like ours where there is such abundance and opportunies for second and third chances. Your comments about illogical people are completely off the mark for poorer countries or in history. When survival of the fittest plays a part, illogical people are almost drawing dead.
