The Gambler's Identity: Rivers and Villages
This chapter explores the identity of a 'reverian' and how gambling intertwines with personal competitiveness and ambition. Through anecdotes from childhood and reflections on social dynamics among elite groups, it examines the contrasts between those aligned with the 'river' and the 'village.' The discussion also touches on themes of luck versus skill, determinism, and the impact of familial influences on risk-taking behaviors.
