So far, Taleb makes weak cases for "anti-fragility" existing in the real world. His chief examples are 1) mythical: the 7-headed hydra growing 2 heads after each decapitation or 2) alchemically imprecise: growing immune to poisons through mithridatism. Looking forward to any upcoming precise definitions differentiating "anti-fragility" from "robustness," but distracted by his "incel manifesto" writing style.
