| Abstract | According to Parrondo's Paradox, there will be cases where a subject facing two probabilistically losing strategies has a probabilistically winning strategy by combining these losing strategies in a random way. Conversely, the subject can have two winning strategies, that when combined result in a probabilistically losing strategy. This unexpected result has found applications in economics, biology and electronic engineering, to name a few cases. It is argued that this result should have some applicability in epistemology as well. |
