An incomplete eduction

Have you ever read this book?
It's a nifty little book. It's supposed to be a collection of stuff that you never learned, but you should have.
One section of the book deals with philosophy. And within that section is a little bit about the big brain busters (Zeno's Arrow paradox)

One of them is Pascal's wager, the book , IMHO, took a little dip.
But then I thought, "A lot of people who use Pascal's wager don't even know it exists, so letting them know this idea isn't original and has been refuted is a good deterrent against future abusers of the wager".

I read the whole article, not one point raised against it.

Ugh.
Maybe I should make a sequel, 'the Incomplete "incomplete education" education'.
