Ep 19 Why we take dumb risks

Why do kids ride skateboards, fall over, graze themselves and keep going? The risk/reward formula looks screwed up. All the risk and little reward. Why do we gamble? Why not just stay in bed? Isn't that the lowest risk? You can lower your risk but never remove it. You can undertake risky behaviour the riskier the behaviour doesn't always give the higher rewards (e.g. gambling). You can never predict outcomes But risk is critical to being human. Don’t be any more scared of risks, as you are sure of outcomes.
