Respect the Polygon from Against the Rules

This week, we're sharing an episode of Against the Rules, hosted by perhaps the greatest non-fiction writer on the planet, Michael Lewis. On the show, Michael explores what’s happened to fairness in modern life. He’s looked at referees and at coaches. Now, he’s looking at experts—the kind who transform people’s lives for the better, and get absolutely no credit whatsoever. Tim shares his favorite episode so far, about the ways better data has revolutionized our understanding of life-and-death issues. Armed with data, experts are now way more accurate—and way more likely to save your life.  You can listen to more Against the Rules episodes at https://link.chtbl.com/cautionaryrules.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
