LZ Granderson: There is no such thing as an identical situation. He says when you are in the depths of depression or anxiety, novelty can put the world askew. LZ: At every there are one billion upon onebillion upon one billion variables that have all shifted from the last time you experience something. It is like it in some way, ah, but it is infinitely newance from that thing that you'd experienced before.

In this episode, we sit down with Jordan Ellenberg, the John D. MacArthur Professor of Mathematics at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

His writing has appeared in Slate, the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times, the Washington Post, and the Boston Globe, and he is the New York Times bestselling author of How Not to Be Wrong – but in this episode we will discuss his new book, Shape: The hidden geometry of information, biology, strategy, democracy and everything else.
