What are your assumptions for the chances involved here? It seems intuitive that the "harder" options would still be better odds. Did you perhaps means that it _feels_ like their chances are that low for any other option?
- parthdesai 3y agoI'm still working through the book but that's the whole premise. It'll be impossible for us to rationally and logically relate to what (in this case) they go through. Logically, to us, it makes no sense to buy lottery tickets. But given the circumstances they grew up in, the lack of opportunities that continue to riddle them, they're willing to take that chance since it offers a higher probability of them leading a comfortable life.
