Who's afraid of the 21st century?

Wednesday, May 13, 2009

So, as a human race, we generally get a thrill from being scared.

However, when it comes to deciphering real news from a bunch of hooey, well, it isn't so easy to tell fact from fiction at times.

In my lastest Q&A, I chatted with Simon Briscoe and Hugh Aldersey-Williams about their latest book, Panicology: Two Statisticians Explain What’s Worth Worrying About (And What’s Not) in the 21st Century (Skyhorse Publishing).

Very nice fellows. Very skeptical, too.
And rightfully so. Many things we worry about, we can't do anything about.

Perhaps should we all just toughen up and then chill out?
