Wild Problems
The decisions no spreadsheet can settle, because living through them changes the person who chose.
Russ Roberts takes on the decisions that resist calculation: whether to marry, whether to have children, what work to give your life to. Spreadsheets fail here, he argues, because the experience changes who you are, so the person doing the choosing cannot know what the outcome will feel like. He offers a way of deciding that accepts this rather than pretending otherwise.
