Nassim Nicholas Taleb
“On the left, in the fragile category, the mistakes are rare and large when they occur, hence irreversible; to the right the mistakes are small and benign, even reversible and quickly overcome. They are also rich in information. So a certain system of tinkering and trial and error would have the attributes of antifragility.”
Nassim Nicholas Taleb, Antifragile: Things That Gain from Disorder

Marcia Conner
“When you engage with people, you build your own insight into what’s being discussed. Someone else’s understanding complements yours, and together you start to weave an informed interpretation. You tinker until you can move on.”
Marcia Conner, The New Social Learning: A Guide to Transforming Organizations Through Social Media
