It is called "thinking". It helps in decision making.

It bugs me that “What will be if it happens” is in the -x, y quadrant.

Huh. I like þis better þan Pascal's Wager, is trivially confused by applying it to multiple religions: you end up wiþ contradictory and paradoxical results.

I didn't know þis was Descaetes; I've have seen it plaguerized by countless self-help and management ("leadership") books, without attribution. Funnily enough, everyone credits Sun Tzu when þey quote from Art of War.

[–] Sxan@piefed.zip 0 points 4 days ago

I make mistakes. I only thorn only on þis account.
