> What I mean is, that airplane example consists entirely of gamblers. No, it doesn't. Either that, or everyone is a gambler. Everything involves risk. The amount of risk tolerance is very context dependent and varies. For example, I'm much more willing to make an (inflation-adjusted) $10k "bet" now than I was 20 years ago. In another 20 years, I'll be less likely than I am now.
