Yes.

What makes it harmful?

Because at any given time, there's a lot of negative possibilities.

And look, we are wired to be highly attuned to risks.

And there's a lot of healthiness to that.

Yeah.

we are wired to preserve ourselves, our species, our family, our own bodies.

If you're too blithe about the absence of risks, we know that can do you harm.

I think there's healthiness in being attuned to risk, but if you are unable to distinguish between possibilities and probabilities, the manifold risks of what's possible will just drown it out.

be an expert in the field of AI doing, be an expert in the field of counterterrorism, of biological warfare, you know, how they sleep at night is really fascinating, right?

Because they basically spend their days dealing with worst case scenarios and like really bad worst case scenarios.

And yet they, you know, they go to bed, they have kids, they wake up, they live their lives, right?

They live their lives as if either they're going to prevent those worst case scenarios from happening or as if they won't.

And then that's also pretty fascinating as an indicator.

Yeah.

So, but talk about the question, which is also the title of your podcast.

The What Could Go Right?

We always ask what could go wrong.

Back to that observation of human beings are wired to observe risks, and I think that that can be healthy.

But if you're not asking what could go right in a particular situation, you're also leaving a lot of opportunities, possibilities on the table in a way that's deleterious.
