@sun some havers are significantly more honest than others. machiaveli and ellsberg are very honest. some of them have the broken stair syndrome hard.

i've read a lot of these books and its useless because the reality is poors live in are with zero social fabric, zero trust, overt machiavelianism, zero agency, and largely bricked in to learned helplessness.

at that scope seligman is more honestly useful about it
