the interviewer keeps trying to get Nassim make predictions. Ugh! He doesn't do that. He points out areas of risk. Nothing more. How will those risks play out? Who knows?

That's like me telling your tires are pretty worn and you wanting me to predict exactly when and where that will cause you a problem while driving....will you skid and wreck or have a blow out and exactly when will that occur. I don't know. But your tires are pretty worn.
