Skin in the Game

Skin in the Game

Nassim Nicholas Taleb · 2018

Warum wir nur denen vertrauen sollten, die etwas zu verlieren haben Zu viele Menschen mit Macht und Einfluss, so Nassim Nicholas Taleb, müssen nicht wirklich den Kopf hinhalten für das, was sie tun und veranlassen. Intellektuelle, Journalisten, Bürokraten, Banker – sie vor allem haben kein »Skin in the Game« und entscheiden daher schlecht. Taleb zeigt, wie »Skin in the Game«, ein fundamentales Konzept des Risikomanagements, auf alle Bereiche des Lebens übertragen werden kann.

Das grenzsprengende Potenzial literarischer Tagebücher Veröffentlichte Tagebücher von Schriftsteller:innen sind Texte, die sich allzu klaren Zuordnungen entziehen. Sie bewegen sich zwischen Privatheit und Öffentlichkeit, unmittelbarer Niederschrift und Nachbearbeitung sowie Authentizität und Fiktion. In vielen Fällen haben die Werke mehr mit kunstvoll arrangierten Romanen gemein als mit der Idee eines Tagebuchs, in dem am Abend der abgelaufene Tag bilanziert wird.

V. S. Naipaul

V.S. Naipauls autobiografischer Roman beschreibt die Anstrengung und das Mysterium des Ankommens in einem fremden Land – die existenzielle Erfahrung von Fremdheit und kultureller Dislokation. Der Podcast setzt ihn kontrastiv zur heutigen Reisepraxis ein, in der digitale Technologien (iPhone, eSIM, Uber, Airbnb) jede Fremdheitserfahrung eliminieren und die Welt überall lebensweltlich identisch machen. Naipauls Roman wird damit zum historischen Zeugnis einer Welt, in der echtes Ankommen noch möglich war – bevor das Reisen zur nahtlosen, kulturell entwurzelten Erfahrung wurde.
