    🧠 Quotes
    " A system that does not convert stressors / problems / variability to fuel is doomed" - Nassim Taleb
    "A blazing fire makes flame and brightness out of everything that is thrown into it. // The impediment to action advances action. What stands in the way becomes the way" - Marcus Aurelius
    "Never let a mistake go to waste. Learn from every mistake to become better." - Nassim Taleb
    "Forgetting your mistakes is a terrible error if you are trying to improve your cognition." - Charlie Munger
    👨 Speakers
    1) Nassim Taleb
    Nassim Taleb's work concerns problems of randomness, probability, and uncertainty. Author of many successful books, including The Black Swan, which The Sunday Times considers one of the 12 most influential books since World War II.
    2) Daniel Kahneman (source: wikipedia)
    Daniel Kahneman is notable for his work on the psychology of judgment and decision-making, as well as behavioral economics, for which he was awarded the 2002 Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences (shared with Vernon L. Smith). His empirical findings challenge the assumption of human rationality prevailing in modern economic theory.

Today, I was looking at examples of brain drain caused by migrations of the “anti fragile”, leaving behind systems that became fragile without an anti fragile populace. Or US culture over the past 50+ years since The Great Society. Thanks for this.

      Probably, because you don't understand the concept. Sure, you can be Antifragile by not wearing a seat belt in your car, but when the odds are that like thousands of drivers a year you will get into a crash, and be at least injured, if not killed, and it's proven that wearing a seatbelt reduces your risk, you would be Irrational not to wear it.
      Being Antifragile is not about taking stupid risks. It's about reasserting the rational management of risk, instead either being totally oblivious to risk, or being paralysed by risk. Both have undesirable consequences, as can be seen in the American economy today. The risks were poorly managed, because of the uniquely American psychological, political, and intellectual climate. And now, your economy is paying the price of that. It makes the management of systemic risks all the more difficult.

    The idea is interesting, although the example of the plane is not a very good one. The Airline industry has used disasters to construct a system that tries to delete the factors that lead to a crash. Usually, if not always, by standardization of the operational environment; be it maintenance, flight preparation, flight control, etc. So by making the whole system more predictable in its behavior the crashes have been reduced. Not sure he has thought this through enough.

    • @fitnesspoint2006
      @fitnesspoint2006 Рік тому +1

    • @BigHenFor
      @BigHenFor 10 місяців тому

      I think you missed the point. The airlines do limit their robustness to safety and scheduling, but in everything else they are Antifragile. They work to adapt to changes in consumer behaviour. By making their staffing super-flexible, by updating frequently their aircraft in order to leverage technological gains, optimising routes, leveraging passenger psychology to get free financing (flying points schemes), brand stratification and extension - in all these they are antifragile.

    With respect to options trading being resilient is akin to being long stocks with protective puts. Being so-called anti-fragile is akin to owning strangles on the market. Everything has a cost, and you will eventually go broke if you keep buying strangles in an attempt to be "anti-fragile." Being resilient is good enough, no need to incur the very high carrying cost of systematically trying to benefit from unlikely highly volitive events. Just make sure you carry sufficient insurance and/or cash/gold so you won't be ruined if they materialize.

    So - a herd of wildebeest would be fragile, since they are prey animals, which run away when attacked by lions, some of them dying in the process. But the vultures who feed off their carcasses are anti-fragile, because they benefit from the chaos of the chase. On the other hand, individual wildebeest - those whose genetic disposition to remain more calm and survive the stampede through their superior mental capacity, for instance - would also be anti-fragile, and able to pass along their genes for that trait, while those who panicked died and thus did not benefit. This assures the continuation of the wildebeest species through time and change. Of course, the lions are also anti-fragile, as are the hyenas who pick the carcasses.

      If you recover your health after getting a disease you didn't have antibodies against, then your body is resilient with respect to that disease.
      Now let's take another disease, against which you wouldn't survive if you got it. If you didn't have antibodies previously, getting an effective vaccine (a stressor) makes your body antifragile with respect to that disease. The stressor made your body "stronger" to defend against that disease.
