“If we cannot find a way to interpret the utterances and other behaviour of a creature as revealing a set of beliefs largely consistent and true by our standards, we have no reason to count that creature as rational, as having beliefs, or as saying anything.” IfsWayReasonBeliefCreaturesStandardsRationalConsistentNo ReasonBehaviourRationalityRevealingUtterance Author:Donald Davidson
“It is the long term investor who will in practice come in for the most criticism. For it is the essence of his behaviour that he should be eccentric, unconventional and rash in the eyes of the average opinion. If he is successful, that will only confirm the general belief in his rashness; and if in the short run he is unsuccessful, which is very likely, he will not receive much mercy. Worldly wisdom teaches that it is better for reputation to fail conventionally than to succeed unconventionally.” IfsThinkingShouldLongEyeRunningBeliefTermOpinionTeachPracticeSuccessfulFailingSucceedCriticismMercyEssenceIndependentInvestingAverageReputationLong TermInvestorsBehaviourWorldlyEccentricUnsuccessfulUnconventionalIndependent ThinkingRashnessWorldly Wisdom Author:John Maynard Keynes
