Nassim Nikolas Taleb Series

Nassim Nicholas Taleb transitioned from a 21-year career as a quantitative trader to become a flaneur and researcher focusing on the philosophical, mathematical, and practical dimensions of probability. His extensive multivolume essay collection, the Incerto, delves into opacity, luck, uncertainty, risk, and decision-making in the face of the unknown. Taleb masterfully blends personal essays, stories, parables, and scholarly discussions to explore the properties of systems that can thrive amidst disorder, a concept he terms 'antifragile'. He critiques the debasement of knowledge through ceremonialism and awards, preferring a direct engagement with complex ideas.
