understandinguncertainty.org was produced by the Winton programme for the public understanding of risk based in the Statistical Laboratory in the University of Cambridge. The aim was to help improve the way that uncertainty and risk are discussed in society, and show how probability and statistics can be both useful and entertaining.
Many of the animations were produced using Flash and will no longer work.
I watched the TV show 12 Monkeys on Netflix this evening, March 30th 2018. In the episode I was watching (I can't remember which but it's in the first season), the main character tells of a Native American story. We each have 2 wolves within us, 1 good, 1 bad. Whichever triumphs is the one we feed the most.
I'd never heard this story before today. I'm 47 and used to be quite interested in Native American culture.
A couple of hours later I was reading a Kindle book, Psychic Surveys 2 by Shani Struthers. In it, a character also told the very same wolves story!
