pickAfter 10 years on my bookshelf, I‘ve finally read it. Bernstein set out to do two things - one fell short. Where he excelled was to weave a compelling narrative of ideas that explain our understanding of risk, through intuition to probability to predicting and managing risk. Where he fell short was in his attempt to argue that any sort of faith held us back from quantifying risk. It‘s a fine thesis but he failed to substantiate it with facts. 👇
Probably just a little too ambitious for one weekend, but hoping to finish the tagged book and final chapter of new edition of Paul Starr, which is a favorite.
Wishing everyone in America well today, and hoping we all remember the important parts of our past and present, even when they‘re ugly ♥️🇺🇸
Decidedly less excited about starting this tome. Frankly I am v surprised to find it has Litsy entry at all. #dayjob #workgetsinthewayofallmyfun #insurance
