LONG HAIRED ACADEMIC ENCHANTED BY SARAH

The well known A.C. Grayling, in the Guardian today, shows his spurs and his spikes like never before. He has come out of the closet. But before you waste your time reading his long winded rant just ask yourself what his opening words really mean. His article begins with :-

" One of the marks of irrationality is failure to profit from experience".

If anybody can explain this comment I take off me hat and eat it.

I doubt that most folk will suffer this little piss-take because the profits are always made through a failure of the vast majority to learn from experience.
