I'm not sure I'd say "The Dice Man" encourages anyone to do what the Rhinehart character does in the book.

  Maybe not, but it is pretty clear about what the author means by "dice living". I.E a somewhat zen-like destruction of self (or ego as the book puts it). This is also explored in the sequel (Search for the dice man, also the name of the article). Yes man also outlines its philosophy pretty explicitly (the "yes manifesto"). As such, it's easy to contrast and compare the two philosophies on pretty like-for-like terms. Dice man does approach it kind of nihilistically though, but also shows the consequences of that approach.
