Re: My First, And Perhaps Only, Statement About Absolute

"I will never again buy a book from David Sklansky. And that is a moral statement."
Why not take it further and say you will never READ another book by me?
You won't of course. Even if there was some mechanism whereby I got my royalty whenever someone read my book and there was no way of avoiding that.
If I was a child killer and my book was about butterfly collecting, you might indeed never read my book about your hobby. Even more so if there was some chance it would stop future killings.
But none of that is the case here. Whether you are talking about reading poker books or playing poker online. Learning poker concepts is a worthwile endeavor. Playing it fulltime, especially online where there is no social interaction, is just a way for smart people to get rich without contributing much. It is not a subject for high falootin philosophising.

How about medium falootin philosophising?
