“Good advice should be taken even when it comes from a sly fox.”

“Good advice should be taken even when it comes from a sly fox.” GOLDTHORIR’S SAGA, CH. 18

The Vikings got to behavioral economics before Amos Tversky and Daniel Kahneman.

The genetic fallacy states that we tend to accept information from attractive sources far more easily than we accept information from unattractive sources.

When we make this error, we are allowing our personal regard for the person or source to be the evaluating factor rather than the information itself.

I should no more reject a good idea from a bad man simply because he is a bad man, than I should accept a bad idea simply because it comes from a good man.

Good men and good sources are often wrong and will be again.

Stopped analog clocks are right twice a day.

Keep your Viking eye on the gold. What is valuable, is what matters, not its source.

Plunder all for the good!
