Nassim Nicholas Taleb
“A Stoic is someone who transforms fear into prudence, pain into transformation, mistakes into initiation, and desire into undertaking.”
Taleb Nassim Nicholas

Matt Ridley
“Simple determinism, whether of the genetic or environmental kind, is a depressing prospect for those with a fondness for free will.”
Matt Ridley, Genome: The Autobiography of a Species in 23 Chapters

Nassim Nicholas Taleb, Antifragile: Things That Gain from Disorder

Nassim Nicholas Taleb
“Doctors most commonly get mixed up between absence of evidence and evidence of abense”
Nassim Nicholas Taleb

Nassim Nicholas Taleb
“The problem of knowledge is that there are many more books on birds written by ornithologists than books on birds written by birds and books on ornithologists written by birds”
