Many con artists and tricksters create an illusion of success so that we might fall into their trap.
The Ponzi schemes, the small wins given out by casinos, lure you by offering a pseudo taste of achievement
and later take away massively.
And the lottery frauds work because in a sense we want them to. we want to believe the fairy tale. Our
need to feel special and superior is the perfect ingredient for a disaster. The inaccurate self-perception
is more harmful than any vices we might have.
Do not overestimate your luck.
