Doug Rushkoff got mugged at knifepoint on Christmas Eve while he was taking out the garbage. You can read his reflection on it here, but here's a striking excerpt:I negotiated with him for my health insurance card - not only because it has my Social Security number and was really hard to get, but because I knew that such a request would humanize me in the mind of my attacker, and make it harder for him to stab me. Such are the benefits of studying human behavior. All I lost was my phone, cards, and money.
NPH wishes his favorite media guru safer passages than these.
