Skin in the Game
AI source guide
How can I apply this idea: Skin in the game means symmetry between the results of your actions and their consequences to you, and this book traces that idea from the myth of Antaeus through Hammurabi's code and the Golden and Silver Rules up to Kant, then lays out how the rest of the Incerto series and this book itself are organized?
How can I apply this idea: Beware of anyone who profits from advice they give you without sharing in the downside if it goes wrong; real ethical transactions require the seller to bear the same uncertainty as the buyer, not merely to follow the letter of the law?
How can I apply this idea: A small, geographically-distributed, inflexible minority can impose its preferences on an entire population whenever the majority is merely flexible rather than equally committed to the opposite choice, because the asymmetry in willingness to compromise, not average preference, determines the outcome?
