Probability and Collateral Assessment
#1
When making a decision, consider: how much time is there to decide?

Probability calculates to the visible chance missing data would change your mind. 

Brainstorm collaterals, and assign them probabilities.

Keep processing, researching, until the exact instant probability of victory decays from further contemplation.

Act. 

Beware: sometimes an emotionally unstable, especially an aggressive, person - wins the fight because they acted first.

Be mindful of when to punch now, think later.

Well, the old saying springs to mind "if someone hits you first, hit them back."

But in real life, that doesn't always work out as planned.

Real life is much messier.
"Yet so it is, we see the illiterate bulk of mankind that walk the high-road of plain common sense, and are governed by the dictates of nature, for the most part easy and undisturbed. To them nothing that is familiar appears unaccountable or difficult to comprehend."
