But there will be no time at which you will have got them all. In fact, there will be no time at which you will have got more than an infinitesimal part of them. So trying to get them all is not a reasonable aim.<br /><br />“In the eyes of God” (who can presumably see eternity at a glance), if you choose 3, you will get all the goods in the left deck. With 2, you won’t. But your eyes are not godlike. You cannot experience eternity. You can only experience things day by day. On that basis, 2 beats 3.IanShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00111583711680190175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3891434218564545511.post-64493215888357883422021-04-12T10:57:32.176-05:002021-04-12T10:57:32.176-05:00Of course you should always draw from the right de...Of course you should always draw from the right deck.
