Incerto 4-Book Bundle: Fooled by Randomness, The Black Swan, The Bed of Procrustes, Antifragile

by Nassim Nicholas Taleb

Randomness and uncertainty are abstractions. We respect what has happened, ignoring what could have happened.

People are uncomfortable with ABSTRACTIONS. We look at what HAS HAPPENED and fail to look at WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED. We love what is NARRATED, even though THE NARRATION IS FALSE.
