Quotes by Tom Chivers (?)

“Life isn’t chess, a game of perfect information, one that can in theory be ‘solved’. It’s poker, a game where you’re trying to make the best decisions using the limited information you have.”
― Tom Chivers, Everything Is Predictable: How Bayes' Remarkable Theorem Explains the World
