NBS 26: Willem Nielsen, "What is a 'Black Swan?'"


Listen Later

Today Willem and I discuss the book "The Black Swan" by Nassim Taleb. This book was very impactful for Willem and helped him think through many scenarios in his own life. We talk a lot about risk-taking, unpredictability, and other ideas in mathematics and try to apply them to our everyday lives.


Willem has included helpful links to go along with the podcast:
