Omniscience?

i dont get what you mean after WHY THE HECK. because how else would you leap it? if as you said already, the limit of calculation is reached. you can say it is reason, or common sense, or social intuition, but for me that qualifies as faith because it is something that you have to believe in.

the moment in poker that you have done all your calculations then there is indeed the gap left and all you can do is decide to have faith in your calculations and your luck and make the bet. i agree with the best shot but not certain, and its the not certain part in which the faith lies.

Nono.

I'm saying, why leap it. I mean it's the certainty gap we're talking about, so why be certain? Just be unsure.

Having faith in your luck in poker sounds like a good way to lose.

You don't have faith in your calculations, because the calculations support themselves.

ok. you dont have to leap it but you can only leap it with faith. btw why is it better to be unsure than to leap it with faith? not that it makes much difference in the end. we agree generally i think.

about the calculations you are right. i phrased it wrong.

That's why I was surprisingly pleased with the poker analogy...let's say you can only leap the gap in how sure that your hand will win with faith. So you do, and then bet heavily, because you have faith in your luck (people do this...) you will end up losing badly in the long run.

so what you are saying is to act cautious and not bet? though the poker analogy would do well in an economic world i think for most humans losing is as much part of the experience of human life as is winning. thats why many people often go by the principle of having never tried something is a certain loss.

whichever way we react to the gap however, it is the gap which makes for the equality imo. so my point still stands i think.
