Ask Your Mom to Explain Risk
-
Understanding risk is one of the most important things that we do in IT. One of the best tools that I have found for describing the concept of "getting lucky" in risk is having your mother explain it to you. The "call your mom and tell her you don't wear a seatbelt and it's fine because you are still alive" problem does more to explain risk concepts than anything I've ever found. It's downright effective.

Don't think so, as I didn't record it until recently.

Me: I don't wear a seatbelt and it's fine because I am still alive.
Mom: Wear a seatbelt
Me: I've never been in an accident therefore I never will be in an accident
Mom: I love you so wear a seatbelt just in caseDebunked @scottalanmiller

@scottalanmiller I think she's so used to me putting her into hypothetical situations she has adapted to saying what she needs to say without arguing lol
