    A very interesting interview. I love the talk about uncertainty. I and everyone else lives it. It feels real. I’m currently a nontraditional college student (34_undergrad), but I feel she contradicts herself towards the end. Maybe it was just the interviewer pulling her out of her comfort zone.

    As I thought about this her supposed comfort zone is the exact zone she was pulled into. Maybe (like most experts (ALL EXPERTS)) she can speak very fluently about certain topics, while at the same time being pulled into topics very much out of her range. This was disturbing to say the least. Her expertise is games which invovle uncertainly, and I failed to see even a hint of humility.

    I have several notecards from listening to this interview, which I plan to pursue, but I think the most important thing I learned was that the very topics she first talked about are so deeply entrenched that she couldn’t see herself trip on them 30 minuties later (like most of us (or all of us)).
