In her senior year at Michigan State, Norberg won three writing contests although not her first, they were the most influential in her decision to pursue the childhood dream.

The civil war in Lebabon or the events of 9/11 were more worse than just a typical bad day in the Beirut or New York City. Bill Gates is more than a little wealthier than the average. But in Extremistan, the right-hand tail of events is thick and long and the outlier, the seemingly wildly unlikely event is more common than our experience with Mediocristan would indicate. Most people are near the average height and no adult is more than nine feet tall. These events are often physical and observable and they tend to cluster around the middle. In Mediocristan, events are generated by a underlying random process that is normally distributed. Taleb, the author of Fooled By Randomness and The Black Swan, imagines two countries, Mediocristan and Extremistan where the ability to understand the past and predict the future is radically different. This wide-ranging conversation looks at investment, health, history and other areas where data play a key role. Nassim Taleb talks about the challenges of coping with uncertainty, predicting events, and understanding history. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Now, at 16 years old, they are going on an expedition where she can't go with them and where they will be out of reach of communications until they return.
