Fantastic read. Once again, the chaotic nature of our future unfolding.

These days, the scientists that advise our countries‘ leaders about the pandemic can make a difference as Chris MacAskill made back then.

Thanks! The fascinating thing is I had been a geophysicist for 10 years before joining NeXT, so all my instincts were to approach this as a scientist. When I see Dr. Fauci speaking the best known truths despite the political winds, it resonates with all I know of science -- speak the truth as best you know it and history will forgive you later.

OP shows up to comment! Love your article! I echo the first comment in your article, about writing a book. There can be never be too many books about 90s era Jobs.

The truth is immutable -- that's what makes it so successful.

The challenge is to ensure that what you say is the truth. It’s often difficult to talk about science casually without erroneously confusing factual evidence with our best, tentative conclusions.
