Show notes
Nate Silver is the founder of FiveThirtyEight and the author of The Signal and the Noise.“I know in a perfectly rational world, if you make an 80/20 prediction, people should know that not only will this prediction not be right all the time, but you did something wrong if it’s never wrong. The 20% underdog should come through sometimes. People in sports understand that sometimes a 15 seed beats a 2 seed in the NCAA tournament. That’s much harder to explain to people in politics.”Thanks to MailChimp, Bombas, Squarespace, and Trunk Club for sponsoring this week's episode.Show Notes:@NateSilver538fivethirtyeight.comSilver on Longform[[[[[[[45:00] "Donald Trump Is the World’s Greatest Troll" (FiveThirtyEight • Jul 2015) Learn more about your ad choices.
