Lesson 19: Changing Your View Of Your World: Slide 32
Information Reduces Uncertainty
- If every thing is a matter of luck, risk management, such as trying to reduce the probability of relapse, is useless
- Invoking luck obscures truth and responsibility for actions because it separates an event from its cause
- For example: It was just bad luck I started drinking again
