Or as Muhammed Ali (I think) put it: The harder I work, the luckier I get.

Good to hear that The Black Swan is worth persevering with. I keep doing a chapter then getting distracted by shinier things.

Cheers,

This sort of post gives me the motivation to put more work into blog writing. Thanks!

Nice Post. I have thought along similar lines many many times.

Have a read of Taylor Davidson’s blog and his post:
“Social capital isn’t new, but everything about it is.”
Great read and with great resources at the bottom.

Maybe, Matt. But it’s fun to think of alternatives.

Or perhaps none of this has anything to do with the fundamental incomputability of the probability of consequential rare events, and it’s just a matter of not what you know, but who you know…
