Risky Business with Nate Silver and Maria Konnikova

Luigi Mangione, the Rise of Bluesky, and High-Stakes Chokes


Listen Later

Nate and Maria talk about what Luigi Mangione can show us about the danger of black and white thinking, and how platforms like Bluesky and X create bubbles that make matters worse. Then, with the reigning world chess champion dethroned after a surprising choke, they discuss how they deal with high-stakes situations.

Risky Business will be off next week. We’ll be back with a new episode on 1/2/25. Happy New Year!
