do you think low probability, high impact events are handled well on average?
- thephyber 6y agoNo. I think my intention when using the low-probability, high impact examples is that we over-invest by dedicating far too much time and too many resources on events that will likely never happen but we can't even prepare for / respond to the high probability events well. Far better to practice and iterate on improving our response to the latter which will give us the expertise to better handle the former.
- uoylj 6y agoNot necessarily well, but definitely with more focus. One 9/11 - you get a united country (for the first year after at least). A 9/11 equivalent every couple of days - "but I don't wanna wear a mask!"
