What do I need to do to you people?
Do you need a telegram?
I'm trying to teach you a lesson.
I'm Angela Duckworth.
I'm Stephen Dubner.
And you're listening to No Stupid Questions.
Today on the show, how does facing death change your life?
You're with a person who already was an ex-boyfriend.
Yeah, I know.
That's near death right there.
Also, should we be more concerned about things that are high impact or high probability?
Would you rather take a chance that there's a nuclear war or have nobody in America everywhere seatbelt again?
So Angela I recently had a near-death experience and
if I died It would have been not funny exactly no,
but at least like a no Henry short story because I almost got killed in a traffic accident
while driving back from getting my second COVID vaccine shot.
Oh, that would have been a great short story.
Right?
I would have been willing to die for that story, but I didn't, alas.
Darn it.
