PASCAL, BLAISE

1623–1662

The Wager (Join the Waitlist Anyway)

Pascal: bet on belief; if God exists, infinite gain; if not, finite loss. Limbo's waitlist is the wager updated for the artist. Sign up. If the GAI matters, you are in. If not, you are out only the seven dollars and the CV. The asymmetry favors the bet. The institution accepts wagers. The institution returns no winnings. The wager is the practice.
