Risk Is Not Danger. Here Is What It Actually Means

Описание: Above the fold. Risk vs uncertainty shapes every financial and career decision. This video explains risk in clear terms, shows why volatility matters, and explains how knowledge turns fear into strategy.

This video breaks down risk as a measurable concept rather than a vague threat. It explains why returns without context mean nothing and why volatility drives opportunity. The distinction between risk and uncertainty sits at the centre of the discussion, with clear examples from finance, decision theory, and real events. Behavioural bias plays a key role, shown through prospect theory and common decision traps around gains and losses. The video also covers black swan events using Taleb’s framework, showing how lack of knowledge creates surprise while preparation changes outcomes. A final case study on Silicon Valley Bank links risk management to accountability, clarifying why responsibility and accountability never mean the same thing. The message stays practical. Understand risk. Measure it. Own the outcome.
