A young reporter for the Post named Tom Wolfe followed up after my talk with an interview. The Post ran his story, “You Can So Beat the Gambling House at Blackjack, Math Expert Insists.” He was curious rather than skeptical, sympathetic but probing. Wolfe later became one of America’s most famous authors.
It's great that Tom Wolfe gets this call-out for his curiosity. Maintaining curiosity rather than cultivating cynicism, should be everyone's challenge in life.
Also gave me a bit of a Forrest Gump moment there.
