I rely a great deal on animal instincts.

6Perspective

Playing by the rules, one does the best he can, irrespective of the social consequences. Whereas in making the rules, people ought to be concerned with the social consequences and not with their personal interests.

5Strategy

My approach works not by making valid predictions but by allowing me to correct false ones.

4Secret to Success

3Society

An open society is a society which allows its members the greatest possible degree of freedom in pursuing their interests compatible with the interests of others.
