Welcome to the first "extrasode" of Where There's Smoke. These are quick episodes we produce between our full Tuesday episodes when we feel that we've got something to say. This week, we received an email from a listener in New Jersey commenting on our visualization episode and asking about the risks of being overly optimistic.

Leaping off a New York Times article he provided, and weaving through articles in Forbes & Scientific American, we pass through a TED Talk, and end up realizing that "knowing is half the battle".
