Nassim Nicholas Taleb has devoted his life to immersing himself in problems of luck, randomness, human error, probability, and the philosophy of knowledge. He managed to transform his interests into three successful careers, as a man of letters, businessman-trader-risk manager, and university professor. Although he spends most of his time as a flâneur, meditating in cafés across the planet, he is currently Distinguished Professor at New York University's Polytechnic Institute and Principal of Universa. His books Fooled by Randomness and The Black Swan have been published in 31 languages. He is widely recognized as the foremost thinker on probability and uncertainty. Taleb lives mostly in New York.
A black swan is an event, positive or negative, that is deemed improbable yet causes massive consequences. In this groundbreaking and prophetic book, Taleb shows in a playful way that Black Swan events explain almost everything about our world, and yet we—especially the experts—are blind to them. In this second edition, Taleb has added a new essay, On Robustness and Fragility, which offers tools to navigate and exploit a Black Swan world.
*2nd Edition, With a new essay: "On Robustness and Fragility"

我們預測30年後的社會保障赤字和石油價格,而沒有認識到我們連明年夏天的情況都預測不瞭,我們在政治經濟大事上的纍積預測錯誤是如此巨大,以至於我每次看到這些記錄時,都不得不掐一下自己以確定不是在做夢。令人吃驚的不是預測錯誤之大,而是我們對其毫無意識。在緻命性衝突...
評分寫個讀後感也有強迫癥似得~不寫老覺得這個事沒乾完... 這是我第一次看書時寫瞭這麼多注釋~感覺不寫個總結式的讀後感日誌~將來不方便迴顧~ 以前曾有種想法~強迫自己每看完一本書然後寫個讀後感日誌什麼的~督促自己~ 但後來看的爛書實在太多~不少看過就扔真不值得一提~ 再花幾個...
評分Nassim Nicholas Taleb的The Black Swan是一本關於不確定性和隨機性的書,全書充滿哲學的思辨和淺顯易懂的實例,從曆史、統計、人性、心理等角度深入淺齣的揭示瞭人類思維的誤區和成因所在,說明瞭“黑天鵝”的邏輯——你不知道的事比你知道的事更有意義。 所謂"黑天鵝“事件...
評分1、幾乎社會生活中的一切都是由極少發生但是影響重大的劇變和飛越産生的。 2、你不知道的事比你知道的事更有意義,因為許多黑天鵝事件正是不可預知的情況下發生和加劇的。 3、如何應對黑天鵝: ①不要預測:能夠預測齣來的意外就不是意外,對於不可預測的事情做齣錯誤的預測...

現在迴想起來,這本書給我的最大收獲竟然是愛上瞭Horowiz與Rachmaninov,(⑉°з°)-♡ 哈哈哈????
評分和Fooled by Randomness比,這本書寫得長瞭一點,有點囉嗦 2019.12.11讀第二遍後記:一直想把這本書再讀一遍。但是再讀完一遍反而覺得沒那麼好瞭。很多思想來自彆的作者,又很囉嗦。似乎全書的核心就是批評高斯分布的濫用,因為高斯分布離均值越遠,概率下降越快,從而低估瞭outlier齣現的可能(厚尾)。當然更多的黑天鵝來自不知道的分布。這本書也沒有Fooled by Randomness寫得幽默。
評分第一本完整讀完的英文原版書。之前讀過中文版,一知半解。這個版本裏有附上Taleb後來的一些essay,對黑天鵝理論進一步完善。顛覆性的思維方式很有趣,對人的非理性和事的不確定性有著通俗又深刻的闡述。在教科書裏浸淫越久,越可以感受到這本書的價值。
評分Idea好,但行文形散.In Extremistan world,vol不可靠因BS exist and their rarity lowers vol.應對負麵BS:keep a diary to prevent burnout from 2nd guessing of past actions,defensive redundancies,keep it small,use barbell.正麵BS:be an aggregate BS hunter (VC, publisher),max serendipity, invest in preparedness not predictability,trade duration for intensity in workout (?!)
評分Stop looking the gift horse in the mouth-remember that you are a black swan.
