Behavior Over Events: Predicting the Unpredictable

Houssel's Same as Ever emphasizes the importance of basing decisions on human behavior rather than specific events, as history reveals the unpredictability of the world. Through anecdotes like skipping a dangerous ski slope and historical examples such as George Washington's survival, Houssel illustrates how split-second choices can have profound effects, highlighting the butterfly effect's impact. Regardless of future changes, human responses to greed, fear, and social influences remain consistent, influencing decisions in finance and beyond.
