Don't be fooled by randomness with Dave Lawie

from GeOCHemISTea · host Sam Scher

A favorite thing Dave likes to say is "we do all sorts of things to the rocks... to try and understand them...." But then Dave often likes to tell geologists and especially mining engineers that "rocks don't give a shit to what we think of them. They're just rocks. They're just gonna sit there and be like, all right, whatever guys. I'm a rock." And as for why you won't see Dave penning a book on his career... "because it with be complete utter bullshit." That's hindsight bias for you. Join us as we discuss Nassim Nicholas Taleb's philosophical book "Fooled by Randomness" and try and apply it to the wide world of geochemistry... with drinks.
