To wager, or not to wager, that is the question with Dr. Liz Jackson | (MoR No. 34)

Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer The slings and arrows of doubt, Or to take Arms against a Sea of skepticism, And by opposing end it: to wager, to believe; No more; and by a belief, to say we end The heart-ache, and the thousand natural shocks That eternal damnation promises?
