David Walsh On Risk
•
Beaker Street
A talk by David Walsh with music by Zac Henderson.
Humans are flawed evaluators of past decisions. We place far too much emphasis on outcomes, with little consideration of inherent risk. When we learn to appreciate the importance of alternative histories, the ghosts of our past decisions come back to haunt us, or perhaps we finally appreciate the broker who sold us that insurance policy we never collected on. Perched just above the Derwent River, trekking through David Walsh’s past and present stomping grounds, a chance to view Mona, and the world, through his distinct point of view.
The suggested walking location for this episode is GASP! Trail, Glenorchy, Tasmania.
