<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">On this episode we meet with risk expert and consultant, Chuck Watson. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Watson analyzes the types of risk we face in the modern world - from climate change to nuclear arms - and how the decisions of experts help us from plunging into the abyss. How do humans manage our instincts to over-react to risks we recently experienced with high-consequence, low-probability situations? </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Further, Watson explores the role of human agency in risk analysis. How are humans smart enough to build dangerous systems, but unable to manage the same systems?  He looks at how building stronger governance systems will allow humans to overcome our current predicament.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>About Chuck Watson</strong>:<br /></span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Chuck Watson is the founder and Director of Research and Development of Enki Holdings, LLC.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Enki's models and their outputs are used by governments around the world such as the US Government (NASA, Defense Department, State Department, EPA), the States of Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Hawaii, as well as the insurance industry and UN Agencies.
