There was actually a follow up short conversation between NNT and Bryan Caplan, focused on whether it is rational to eat or to walk across the road, given potential risk of poisoning or being run over. But that video was taken down shortly after posting it. If anyone has a link to that video, or to a transcript of that video, please share it here. It was a very interesting video and I want to review what NNT had said about these risks. Thanks.

@@yinspiron3348 Thanks for trying to help. But that article doesn't have a section on the rationality of eating or walking across the road.

Do you recall what they said?

@@gordonf4723 Taleb said: Some things you have to do (even though they could end you). If you have to do them, then minimize the risk. Then there are some things you don't have to do (which contain risk of "game over"). Don't do them.
