I need to talk to someone about this, if for no other reason than Scott Adams wrote it so that people would talk about it.

Please read the philosophical treatise HERE

Comments:

I enjoyed the mental image of two people talking in an old fashioned study, where a fire was burning and an old man was huddled in a blanket.

Probability theory was a central theme, and I was surprised by that. I have taken statistics, and the thought of probability being God's will (did I get that right?) was awesome.

What did others think? The 5 stages of awareness? The coin toss and how a coin has the illusion of free will?

I actually could not keep working once I started reading it. I had to stop what I was doing to finish it! Unfortunately, I am a Cardiovascular Surgeon, and the patient did not make it. He was old and really sick anyway, and I felt better about it at the end because the book says due to probability he will come back and live all over again! Whew!
