I love Prots but the implication of my Puritan DNA is that I did not get enough fornication as a teen.Dennis_DeYoung said:
Predictably Irrational was the name of the book (not really recommended) by Dan Ariely. The peak-end effect is the idea that people remember the peaks and ends of experiences. Pete fixated on the PEAK of how he won at Boise. Kellen Moore, PhD football, outsmarting everyone in recruiting by looking for factors that were rare so he could turn guys that, on the surface, have a 10% chance of being good into top players.UW_Doog_Bot said:Hot maff talk is hot @Dennis_DeYoung
Because I'm lazy can you link me the book you were talking about? Curious if you've read any of Malcom Gladwell's books on decision making. There's a lot of parallels to what you were talking about with outlier performances creating a psychological "anchor".
Can we get a DDY recommended reading list as well?
Now, he's trying OKG bullshit with fucking DJ Rodgers. You see 3 plays of him, you know he can be good. Stop thinking the situations are the same: you now recruit the players you could never get at Boise. Just make sure they won't fuck up the effort and take all good in-state players. The end.
Other books:
Blink is good by Gladwell as is the tipping point.
Best book on human minds is probably Strangers to Ourselves by Tim Wilson.
The Selfish Gene and the Extended Phenotype are also quite good by Richard Dawkins.
This is a nice discussion on the rapidly improving science of how we are understanding how gene-selection (and epigenetics, so fuck you epigeneticists, it's basically gene selection) and culture reinforce each other: https://fivebooks.com/best-books/joe-henrich-cultural-evolution/
Thank God for Protestants. -
Scientific progress offsets a lot of the randomness in mating and health. We get way more kids to puberty than ever before.YellowSnow said:

Malcolm Gladwell is a curly hair fucking faggot and if you support him you should castrate yourself with a pair of safety scissors.
