I saw the author speak; he's a smart guy and is tackling a tough subject. There are a lot of reasons most people (including myself) develop screwed-up attitudes toward risk. The media is most certainly one, but it also deals with natural phenomenon in how our brains are wired for survival. (Recency bias, availability bias, etc.)
- ErrantX 17y agoCool! Where did you see him speak? I've not dug around for any more of his work. Risk was really eye opening so I probably should!
