Fluke - Why Everything We Do Matters.
Brian Klaas is a professor in global politics, author of several books, host of a reeeally good podcast, creator of a huge substack and someone who has created a life, of which I wish to emulate many parts…
We recorded this in person!… (I spoke a bit about the experience behind the scenes in this recent post) Brian and I sat down together in his Winchester kitchen and spoke about randomness, chance, Nassim Taleb, Flukes and why all these things are worth thinking about…
If you like Taleb, then Brian’s new book, Fluke which just came out… is right up your alley. Brian’s research is wonderful.
You’re knocked over the head again and again with truly unbelievable stories of chance which reinforce the central idea that although we wish it were otherwise, while life might be understood backwards, it must be lived forwards.
Forward this email or share this podcast episode with a fellow Talebian, a no free will believer or someone who needs a gentle reminder than chance and randomness are the real needle movers, not you…
