-This is a graded 1-point discussion board. Meritorious posts
may grant one a bonus point.
-Attendance Monday is optional. Class time on Monday will be
dedicated to a SWA#3 writing workshop.
1) How can superstitious beliefs be rational? (91-92)
2) Does our tendency to mistake luck for skill when evaluating
exceptional performances have an evolutionary explanation? Liu thinks so; is
his reasoning cogent? (92-93)
3) In the last paragraph of the book, Liu makes a seemingly
random ethical assertion, that is, that exceptional winners should imitate the
likes of Bill Gates and Warren Buffett because they have “chosen to commit
their wealth and success to worthy causes. The winners who appreciate their
luck and do not take it all for themselves deserve a large portion of our
respect” (95). How, if at all, could Liu’s empirical research support this
normative claim?
