Taleb: There's a lot of things that tie you in the day to day that if you were to look at the what you did a year ago to go back to the Nassim Taleb newspaper, there was no impact on that thing at the moment. Right, and the same thing with OSM. If you go to an OSM conference and just got up and your talk is going to be, hey, I'm going to replace all of you with a blockchain, or hey, I're going to replacing all ofYou with a spreadsheet or something.

Ye, there's one thing you do in this piece, and, eh, you do it at the end, in a very arresting final paragraph, which i'll let people read. But you bring the experience of men into the picture in a way that it had never occurred to me to do. Me, we tend to talk about this as a problem of the ethical problem, or the ethically interesting facts are the woman's experience, how she got pregnant, and all the the chaos and suffering that may be attendant on that.

The i just can't face it again moment is, by definition, the story of a woman, very likely married, already having kids. And so you take the point of view of the man who has delivered his critically ill wife, almost certainly the mother of their existing children, to a hospital where she dies. And you know, after that tragedy, he simply has to go home and face raising the kids by himself, right?
