  Fooled by the Winners is a book about survivor bias, the cognitive error of focusing on the winners, the successes, and the living. But in many instances, we can learn more from those who have lost, failed, or died. 
   
   
   
  After reading this book, you will understand how survivor bias is often used to deceive us. You will learn how to stop paying for financial services that promise more than they deliver, for health care that doesn't make us healthier, for diets that don't make us slimmer, and for advice books that don't offer good advice. You will also come away with a different view of our past, including our perilous evolutionary journey and how history has often been written by the winners. You will come to understand how we are fooled by the winners in warfare, such as in the deployment of nuclear weapons and the most famous example of survivor bias—the missing allied bombers of WWII. 
   
   
   
  Previous studies of survivor bias have been inaccessible to most, housed in formula-laden statistical journals. But you won't find any math or technical jargon here. Through compelling analysis and the real-life stories, this book demonstrates the deceptive influence of survivor bias in our daily lives and on our thinking.

  Sam Houston and Santa Anna: The...

  More than most men in history, Sam Houston was a contradictory individual. He was born in the United States while George Washington was in office, and in an era when the native people who were gradually being subjugated were considered savages, he called them friends and even lived among them. He was abandoned by his first wife and, after suffering the sting of divorce, married again in the manner of his native family, only to abandon his Indian bride to return to life among his own people. In the interim, he fought for their rights in the halls of government, defending them even as he obtained favor in the eyes of one of their worst enemies. He seemed to have the right mix of charm and grit to make a successful life with him and their large family. 
  	Though he was born and raised elsewhere, Houston is considered one of Texas’ truest sons, and during his life he fought for its independence from Mexico and then for its submission to the United States. He owned slaves himself but spent his entire political career fighting against the spread of “the American cancer” to the West. Then, when his beloved state seceded from the Union, he not only opposed secession but sacrificed his own position to protest it, only to turn around and support the Confederacy during the last years of his life.  
  The butcher of the Alamo and Goliad. The traitor who sold half of Mexico. The Napoleon of the West. Mr. Fifteen Nails. The Mother Country’s seducer. Almost 150 years after his death, a lot of name-calling is still being directed towards Antonio López de Santa Anna, president of Mexico 11 times in the 19th century, and today, the vast majority of his compatriots consider him the greatest traitor in history. It was not like that in his day; actually, there had never been a more popular man in Mexico, or anyone more eulogized and essential than General Santa Anna. In life he was the most famous - and infamous - Mexican general and politician.

  Gilgamesh - The Mesopotamian...

  Perhaps you have heard about Gilgamesh, or perhaps you know what he was but would like to know more about him. 
  Gilgamesh was an age-old Mesopotamian hero and the lead character of the Impressive of Gilgamesh, a legendary poem written in Akkadian throughout the late 2nd millennium BC. He could have been a posthumously deified historic emperor of the Sumerian city-state of Uruk. Despite the fact that he ended up being a crucial figure in Sumerian legend throughout the Third Dynasty of Ur (from 2112 to 2004 BC), his rule was more than likely throughout the start of the Early Dynastic Period (Mesopotamia) (henceforth ED), from 2900 to 2350 BC. 
  Gilgamesh's famous deeds are stated in 5 Sumerian poems that have endured. The earliest of these is most likely "Gilgamesh, Enkidu, and the Netherworld," in which Gilgamesh saves the goddess Inanna from the satanic forces that have plagued her huluppu tree. 
  These stories were later weaved into a meaningful story in Babylonian times.

  Coercion - Forcing Someone to...

  Cito Harder

  Coercion is a fundamental aspect of human interaction, shaping behaviors, relationships, and power dynamics across societies. It is the act of compelling someone to act against their will through force, threats, or pressure. Unlike persuasion, which relies on voluntary agreement, coercion removes choice, leaving individuals with little alternative but to comply. It exists in various forms, from physical force and legal mandates to psychological and social pressures. While coercion is often viewed negatively, it is also a tool that governments, organizations, and individuals use to maintain order, enforce rules, and achieve strategic goals. Understanding the nature of coercion requires exploring its mechanisms, ethical dilemmas, and long-term effects. 
  At its core, coercion operates through a power imbalance. The coercer holds leverage over the coerced, whether through control of resources, authority, or the ability to inflict harm. This power can be direct, as in military force or legal penalties, or indirect, such as emotional manipulation or financial dependency. In many cases, coercion is subtle, embedded within societal norms and expectations. A person may comply not because they are explicitly threatened but because the consequences of refusal—ostracization, loss of opportunities, or economic hardship—are too great to bear. This makes coercion a pervasive force, influencing decisions in ways that may not always be immediately apparent.
