A Message from Charles Nesson


hello

my cause is open education in an open net.

i teach a course called "Evidence" about how truth is proved in courts of law.

i use the Necker Cube as a metaphor for understanding the multi-storied nature of truth.

i challenge my students with the riddle of three hats, the solution of which requires imagining what your position looks like from another's point of view.

i teach them to play poker and to see in the game a language for thinking about and an environment for experiencing the dynamics of strategy in dispute resolution.

Poker teaches strategy.

I am supported in the enterprise of legitimating poker as an instrument of education, research and internet development by friends and clients who share this interest.
