  3. "...I will therefore state the following argument. If the science of statistics can benefit me in anything, I will use it. If it poses a threat, then I will not. I want to take the best of what the past can give me without its dangers. Accordingly, I will use statistics and inductive methods to make aggresive bets, but I will not use them to manage my risk and exposure..."

  4. "What good is intellect if it leaves us immobile and frozen in indecision? At some point, despite all the other options, you have to commit yourself to a path. Being flexible if fine, it's maybe the greatest talent you can have, but in order to define yourself, you need to pursue your passion. There will always be good reasons not to do something, or to do something else, the world is full of women more beautiful than your wife, you can never choose the best car, there's always a cheaper air fare. What's most important is that you choose and get on with your life."

    -Chuck Palahniuk

    Fear is an illusion? What a stupid statement. You are obviously a moron or at least working to be one. I guess you have never been in combat or anyone of a myriad or dangerous situations.

    Out of the mouths of babes comes more drool for the brain. Spoken like a true idiot.
