The original sin, it sounds like, is the fact that scott was given everything he wanted. The things he don't want are a consequence of getting everything he wants in the beginning. He has so many people who are pitching in to qoat and, quote, help him, that he ends up being burdened by all their expectations. It's the carefor what you wish for problem, right?
We’ll be back in September with new episodes of Revisionist History. In the meantime, I got to sit down with my good friend and host of Cautionary Tales, Tim Harford.
We discuss his recent trilogy about the epic race between two explorers to the South Pole and all the challenges they encounter along the way. We draw parallels between the 1920s explorers and Silicon Valley startups, and of course, who of the two explorers we’d prefer to have dinner with. Enjoy!
