is it? |
People who predict the future well
are sometimes said to be psychic. But we all make predictions about the
future, with more or less success. We confidently predict the sun will
rise tomorrow, that ice will be cold, etc. But maybe we're not quite as
good at predicting the future as we think. Is the stock market
predictable? The weather? Political upheavals? Or is life just too
random to make good predictions? John and Ken predict that Nassim
Taleb, author of The Black Swan: The Impact of the Highly
Improbable, will join them to consider the extent to which
we can forecast the future.
