Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Nassim Nicholas Taleb argues that as we face accelerating change and ever less predictable futures, we should orchestrate our lives to try to capture the upside of positive surprises…
unlike the banks, that lost it all thinking they could contain their exposure to negative surprises… Taleb: “The payoff of a human venture is, in general, inversely proportional to what it is expected to be. Contrary to social-science wisdom, almost no discovery, no technologies of note, came from design and planning—they were just Black Swans. The reason free markets work is because they allow people to be lucky, thanks to aggressive trail and error, not by giving rewards or incentives for skill. The strategy is, then, to tinker as much as possible and try to collect as many Black Swan opportunities as you can.” |
