Magic & Rationality, Draft 2.3-RC-13: The magical logic of manifesting success

By Zip Ditto

This book uses logic, philosophy, and whimsical storytelling to investigate the magic of succeeding by believing. In particular, we look at the "supposed" secret to success: if you believe you will succeed, then you will succeed. What happens when you adopt this belief? The logical consequences may be surprising. For example, under certain conditions, this supposed secret becomes a logical, self-fulfilling prophecy. Through a progression of 15 chapters, we follow a narrative-going deeper and deeper into the rabbit hole of the supposed secret. Most chapters include a short story to illustrate a logical concept relating to the supposed secret, and most chapters also include a rigorous analysis to satisfy the skeptics. My fundamental thesis is that "magicians" (those who believe in the supposed secret) are logically empowered by the supposed secret to success-even according to skeptical logic. Just a draft. Peer review appreciated.
