Originally posted by Lanny I think it's a bit more philosophically complex than that. I mean for one "chance of winning and losing" isn't really a ground truth we have access to. Like next to nothing in our lives (maybe nothing?) is carried out with absolute certainty from the actor's perspective, if that's what you take chance to mean. Turn on the light and there's a vanishing "chance" that your house has filled with flammable gas and flipping the switch will generate a spark and kill you, but we don't really call turning your light on a gamble. Athletes participating in a contest usually aren't totally certain of their own performance but we typically don't call participants in sporting contests gamblers. I'd argue gambling is term that only has a meaning in a social context: some activities are gambling and some aren't and the only thing that demarcates gambling from non-gambling is what the community of people using the term agree it means.
Yes, sure. I didn't get that specific. I actually didn't think of it like that.
CASPER said he doesn't gamble he takes calculated risks in the context of "gambling" so that's already established. What I meant is that the odds and your calculation don't change the fact it's gambling unless you are certain there is a 100% set outcome. -

That's fair, CASPER was being kinda retarded there

I've wanted to say on multiple occasions now that you vastly overestimate your own level of intelligence and general knowledge about any given topic. I figured telling you this couldn't possibly be productive since the entire issue is that you can't assess your own abilities so there's no reason to expect you could assess the validity of critique thereof however since apparently we're being petty and personally offensive I figure now is a good time to mention it. You have a thoroughly mediocre level of mental acuity, which there's nothing wrong with, but your wholly unwarranted level of self-confidence takes your average joe opinions and amplifies them to belligerent and transparently insecure displays of public humiliation. -

If you do give it a listen, i suggest you read the lyrics with it. Wow.
