'Nothing is done without believe (of benefit from it) at first place', right or wrong?
And, if it is merely the case of 'right', what would be wrong or right believe in regard of certain gain?
May the topic serve those, who believe sacrificing into it will merit them, well.

A rational agent would not do things, or taking action, without reason. or what you call believing in. Such reason constitutes what can be described as return, or rather expected return. Very broadly speaking, return can be identified with benefit, in the sense that benefit would satisfy an agent's desire.Samana Johann wrote: ↑June 28th, 2022, 11:10 pm So what do yours believe about it and be able to preach those believe in ways another could agree to believe?

Take an example. You buy and sell in the stock market. You pick one with the best return, which is usually taken to be financial return on investment, or P/E Ratio, but it is more complicated than that, even if you can gaze into the crystal ball. You may not buy tobacco stock, or environmentally hostiles one, you care more about patriotism (no Russian please), or you may simply enjoy speculation. You may do it simply to kill time, or even experience the sensation of losing. Why not?

Certain blessed when somebody is able to see that right believe would act-ually make a different. Most believe so strong that they even think "I know".gad-fly wrote: ↑June 30th, 2022, 2:58 pmA rational agent would not do things, or taking action, without reason. or what you call believing in.
