Why do we fear uncertainty—and what can statistics teach us about living with it? Nicolai Tangen speaks with Sir David Spiegelhalter, one of the world's leading statisticians and expert communicator of risk, to explore how we navigate an unpredictable world. From the psychology of uncertainty to lessons from COVID-19, climate change, and even weather forecasts, Spiegelhalter unpacks why numbers are never just "cold, hard facts" and how we can use data more wisely in a world full of unknowns. They explore why trust depends on admitting uncertainty, and what it means to build resilience—both as individuals and societies. Engaging, insightful, and sometimes deeply personal, this conversation blends statistics with human experience to explore how we can make sense of risk and uncertainty in an unpredictable world.
