Chuck Watson: "From MAD to NUTS: Risk, Nukes, & Climate Change"

Chuck Watson: "From MAD to NUTS: Risk, Nukes, & Climate Change"

On this episode we meet with risk expert and consultant, Chuck Watson.

Watson analyzes the types of risk we face in the modern world - from climate change to nuclear arms - and how the decisions of experts help us from plunging into the abyss. How do humans manage our instincts to over-react to risks we recently experienced with high-consequence, low-probability situations?

Further, Watson explores the role of human agency in risk analysis. How are humans smart enough to build dangerous systems, but unable to manage the same systems? He looks at how building stronger governance systems will allow humans to overcome our current predicament.
