Ep. 2 - Antifragile by Nassim Taleb

In this episode, we take an in-depth dive into one of the most thought-provoking books of the 21st century - "Antifragile: Things That Gain from Disorder" by the incisive thinker and former trader Nassim Nicholas Taleb.

šŸ“– What is ā€˜Antifragile’? ā€˜Antifragile’ is a term coined by Nassim Taleb to describe systems that thrive and grow when exposed to volatility, shocks, and uncertainty, in contrast to the fragile that breaks under stress. It is beyond resilience or robustness.

šŸŒŖļø The Power of Disorder Explore the underlying concept of antifragility and how Taleb encourages us to embrace randomness and unpredictability as catalysts for growth. From economic systems to human biology, how do certain systems benefit from stressors?


šŸŒ The Black Swan Connection We'll also touch upon Taleb’s earlier work, ā€œThe Black Swan,ā€ and examine the intriguing relationship between Black Swan events (highly improbable events with massive consequences) and antifragility.
