re: Rational v. Emotional thinking: the posi-nega distinction

Funny this is Nash was completely off his rocker when he developed the basis for those theories.
Was it his “emotions” or maybe “logical” thinking that told him (and his wife) it was ok to not wear a seatbelt in a cab which crashed and killed both of them. He was conditioned that way because he likely never drove and was raised when seatbelts were not required. He behaved himself to death.

well often the people who theorize new ideas don't bring them to their full heights, often due to the bias of creation itelf

but like in poker. GTO means you open x range of hands in y position z % of the time. you defend x range of hands in y position z% of the time. etc etc etc. there is no emotion or "reading" of players. now, it's hard for humans to play GTO because they can't randomize things perfectly in their head, but that's the only thing really holding them back (and that's still not emotional. it's just a limitation of our brains. if they were allowed a randomizer at the table they could play close to GTO)
