How to handle uncertainty (w/ Simone Stolzoff)

There was this great prediction about how people that looked at scans in doctors' offices, so whether they're cardiologists or people that are trying to analyze x-ray imagery, there was this very smart professor who said, by the end of 2025, there's going to be no more cardiologists.

And then there were more cardiologists at the end of 2025 than there were before the year began.

And so this comes back to this parable, which I'll just share a brief version of, which is there's this farmer and his horse runs away from the small village.

The following day, the farmer's son is riding one of the horses and falls off the horse and breaks his leg.

The day after that, generals from the military come by to draft people into the war.

And because the son has broken his leg, he gets out of the draft.
