- Hi!
- I will present you my exercise for tomorrow...The aim is find one quotation and comment that!
- Thank you for your corrections.
- “If you hear a "prominent" economist using the word 'equilibrium,' or 'normal distribution,' do not argue with him; just ignore him, or try to put a rat down his shirt.” ― Nassim Nicholas Taleb, The Black Swan.
- The author said that life is more unpredictable than we know.
- In fact, what passes for foresight is mostly just luck.
- History is a series of highly improbable yet earthshaking events that seem plausible only in retrospect.
- "We underestimate the share of randomness" Yet, nowadays, people are using those statistics.
- The society beings aren't ready to cope well with radical uncertainty.
- That's why, It's important to update information we have. if we ever have to heed a forecast, it must keep in mind that its accuracy degrades rapidly through time.
- I think, there is a lot of information available that we can use to maybe not predict the future but to make better choices.
- Moreover, in the real world, we can't predict how long "equilibrium" will last.
