Well, not much argument there. I've also noticed that I think posts are amazingly brilliant when they agree with me. I suspect there is an inherent defect in our thinking with that attitude. We should work on that to better value brilliant posts which disagree ... we'll avoid losses by finding brilliance in those who disagree. Membership of cult clubs is hazardous to one's health [as those in Waco and Jim Jones' gangs found - not to mention those who thought they'd fly to the space ship behind Hale Bopp in their cool Nike gear]. We need to admire those outside the club [something to do with Goedel's theorem of self-reference, or self-reverence] to maintain perspective. But being outside the box while being inside it is tricky. Shrodinger's Cat had similar problems. How to observe oneself observing is tough. Tiger Woods lost his Zen-like state the other day and ended up whacking his club into the dirt [which I have also tried, to improve my golf - unsuccessfully]. He must have felt like a cat in a box. I guess a lot of investors feel like that too these days. GeorgeW is going to whack away at Saddam to see if that relieves the tension. If life isn't a giggle, one can always whack the golf club into the ground. Cursing helps too.
