In conversation with Nate Silver

Recently I had the pleasure of interviewing Nate Silver before an audience of several hundred people. Mostly we discussed Silver’s 2024 book, On the Edge: the Arts of Risking Everything. HERE is a link to an article written about the event. The concluding paragraph: ‘Silver’s openness to randomness was later put to the test, when Filreis pulled out Disney princess cards, each of which had quotes on the back from baseball legend Berra. These ranged from, “A nickel ain’t worth a dime anymore,” prompting several jokes from Silver about the economy, to “We make too many wrong mistakes,” which led him to chuckle, “I don’t know what the right mistakes are.” Filreis and Silver closed out the evening with more random questions and subjects, good for the riverians, perhaps tough for the villagers, engaging for all.’
